De philips 22rh413 is een compacte passieve tweeweg hifi-luidspreker uit begin jaren 1970. Houd je van retro, dan zijn deze heel leuk. Het is een gesloten boekenplankbox met een verrassend volle gelui
This is a buyer’s market item at €35: for a vintage Philips bookshelf speaker, that’s comfortably in bargain territory rather than just fair. The 22RH413 is a small 2-way, 4-ohm, 20 W speaker with a sealed, wall-friendly cabinet, and listings for comparable examples suggest these usually trade well above €35 when complete and working, so this asking price is on the attractive side.
What makes it worth a look is the classic Philips voicing: compact size, easy placement, and enough efficiency to work nicely with modest vintage amps or as a secondary system speaker. If the drivers are original, the cabinets are tidy, and the fixed DIN lead is intact, this is the kind of low-cost vintage buy that can punch above its weight. The main thing to confirm is basic condition—foam/surround health, tweeter output, and any cabinet damage—because at this age those are the value drivers.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Founded in Eindhoven, Netherlands, in 1891 by Gerard Philips, an engineer, and his father Frederik, a banker, Philips began as a modest light bulb manufacturer, quickly evolving into a global electronics powerhouse through relentless innovation. The brothers' early focus on quality incandescent lamps laid the groundwork for expansion into radios, televisions, and audio milestones like the 1963 compact cassette and the 1982 Compact Disc co-developed with Sony. This heritage of pioneering formats that reshaped home entertainment cements Philips as a cornerstone of 20th-century audio history.
Philips has long excelled in consumer audio categories, from vintage turntables and cassette decks to amplifiers, speakers, and complete hi-fi systems, often blending cutting-edge tech with practical design. Iconic products like the first CD player (CD-100) and early wireless Streamium systems highlight their prowess in optical media, portable recording, and integrated sound solutions, while forays into headphones and even acquiring Marantz underscored a broad portfolio.
Today, Philips occupies a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, prized by savvy buyers for reliable, value-driven performance rather than ultra-high-end exotica. No longer a full-spectrum electronics giant—having pivoted to health tech—its licensed audio branding delivers competent, innovation-rooted gear that's accessible yet evocative of golden-era nostalgia, appealing to both modern enthusiasts and vintage collectors.
