Een paar authentieke philips luidsprekers uit de jaren '70, model 22rh423/21z. Deze boxen zijn made in holland en hebben een vermogen van 20w. Ze zijn gebruikt en vertonen tekenen van ouderdom
A fair-to-good ask: €50 for a pair of 22RH423s sits on the sensible end for a vintage Philips bookshelf set, especially if both drivers are original and the cabinets are clean. I’d call it a decent buy rather than a bargain-basement steal, but it is very reasonable for a model with real collector appeal and not much modern equivalent at this size.
What makes them worth a look is the classic Philips recipe: a sealed two-way box with an 8-inch woofer, 1-inch tweeter, and a compact cabinet that can sound punchy and surprisingly full when healthy. At this age, the big buyer checks are simple and material: both woofers and tweeters working, foam/rubber surrounds intact, and no buzzes or channel imbalance. If those basics are good, €50 is an easy listen.
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.
