Secondlife apparatuur – bang & olufsen m. Troelstra: te koop aangeboden: beolab 5 mk2 fabric black / aluminium silver de beolab 5 mk2 is met zijn 2500 watt het paradepaardje van de bang & oluf
Against the obvious alternative at this money—shopping a bit lower and accepting a more ordinary floorstander—this is priced above the typical used level but not out of line for the model. With a median of €6,953 and a 75th percentile of €9,054, the ask at €8,250 sits comfortably in the upper half of recent comps, so I’d call it fair-to-ambitious, not a bargain.
What makes it worth considering is that this is one of B&O’s more distinctive statement speakers: big scale, deep bass authority, and the kind of effortless room-filling presentation that still stands out used. If the cabinets, drivers, and grille work are clean and the sale includes the original bases, grilles, and documentation, the premium is easier to justify. At this price, I’d still want proof of full working order and no driver/amp issues, since older active B&O pieces are only as good as their service history.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Bang & Olufsen was founded on November 17, 1925, in Struer, Denmark, by engineers Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen. The company began in the attic of the Olufsen family manor, Quistrup, where the founders developed The Eliminator—a revolutionary device that allowed radios to operate from mains electricity rather than batteries. This innovation established B&O as a forward-thinking manufacturer and set the tone for nearly a century of technological advancement rooted in Danish design principles.
The brand is primarily known for premium audio and home entertainment systems, including high-fidelity receivers, radiograms, cassette recorders, and contemporary loudspeakers. B&O pioneered several category firsts: the world's first button-operated receiver in the 1930s and Europe's first cassette recorder, the Beocord-84U, in the 1950s. Today, the company manufactures integrated audio systems, wireless speakers, and headphones that blend acoustic engineering with sculptural industrial design.
Bang & Olufsen occupies the luxury segment of the audio market, positioned as a premium lifestyle brand rather than a specialist audiophile manufacturer. The company's reputation rests on its distinctive philosophy of merging form and function—treating audio equipment as crafted objects designed to enhance living spaces aesthetically. Recognized by the Museum of Modern Art in New York and maintained as a visionary enterprise for over a century, B&O appeals to discerning consumers who value Scandinavian design sensibility alongside sonic performance.
