Wat een geluid, in zeer nette staat deze 12" speaker 100 watt. Verzenden goed verpakt geen probleem.
Condition is unknown, so the €100 ask mainly needs to be judged against the market spread: with a median of €177 and a 25th percentile of €69, this sits below the median but above the lower quartile, so it reads as a reasonable buy rather than a steal. It is not expensive relative to the recent comp set, and it leaves room for some negotiation if the listing is sparse on details.
What makes it interesting is the likely vintage-style Jensen/Fender 12-inch replacement-driver angle: those are often bought for efficient, lively guitar-amp voicing rather than hi-fi neutrality, and a clean, working example can be a solid practical part. At this price, I’d want confirmation that the cone is original, the voice coil is healthy, and the impedance is indeed 8 Ohm; if it checks out, €100 is a fair entry point for a usable, tone-focused speaker.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Jensen traces its origins to 1915, when Danish-born inventor Peter L. Jensen, alongside Edwin Pridham, pioneered the world's first practical loudspeaker, dubbing it the Magnavox. In 1927, Jensen founded the Jensen Radio Manufacturing Company in Chicago, initially producing speakers for radios, military applications, and public address systems. The brand quickly dominated, supplying OEM components to 60% of U.S. independent radio makers within two years, and evolved through entities like Jensen Industries into a cornerstone of post-war audio innovation.
Historically renowned for loudspeakers—ranging from coaxial designs in the 1940s to triaxial models and raw drivers—the brand powered iconic guitar amplifiers from Fender and Gibson during the 1950s and 1960s. Production of original hi-fi speakers ceased in the late 1960s, but the name endures through licensed reissues by SICA in Italy since the 1990s, including modern Jet Series for guitars, alongside contemporary mobile audio like car receivers, amplifiers, and multimedia systems under Namsung America.
Today, Jensen occupies a mid-tier consumer position, blending vintage heritage with accessible mobile and automotive electronics rather than high-end hi-fi. Its reputation rests on pioneering tone and reliability, appealing to nostalgic collectors, guitar enthusiasts, and everyday drivers seeking value-driven performance over boutique exclusivity.
