€125 is ambitious versus the current used comp set: it sits above the €106 75th percentile, while the median is €88 and the 25th percentile is €69. That means you’re paying a clear premium over what similar listings have been asking, so I’d only move if this one is notably better than average.
That said, this is a classic Philips vintage speaker buy if the cabinets and drivers are healthy: these tend to appeal for their easygoing, musical presentation and solid build, especially when original and unmolested. At this level, the upside is mainly in condition, originality, and whether the pair is complete; if those boxes are ticked, it can still be worth a look, but there’s not much room here for cosmetic excuses or deferred repairs.

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.
