ECLIPSE TD 712 Mk2 Silver Excellent condition Original accessories and packaging included Please read the raving reviews of these unique speakers online
At £3,950, this is clearly ambitious versus the recent GBP comp set: it sits well above the £2,274 75th percentile and far beyond the £605 median, so it needs either exceptional provenance or a rarity premium to justify itself. Without that, it reads as a strong ask rather than a natural buy.
What makes it interesting is the speaker’s reputation for precise imaging, holographic staging, and a very revealing presentation that can suit careful listeners chasing top-tier single-driver coherence. In excellent condition, that’s a plus, but at this level a buyer should want confirmation of originality, driver health, and any service history; if the cabinet and drive units are truly pristine, the right enthusiast may still find value, but it is not an obvious bargain.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Eclipse originated in Japan as a premium car audio brand under Fujitsu Ten (now Denso Ten Limited), headquartered in Kobe. Launched in 1995 with its inaugural car audio series for the domestic market, it quickly gained traction for pioneering innovations like the first aftermarket digital data bus in the 1980s. The brand expanded into navigation and entertainment systems, becoming a key supplier to major automakers while building a legacy in high-fidelity mobile sound.
Shifting from its automotive roots, Eclipse entered the home audio sector in Japan around 2001, later extending to Asia, Europe, and a brief U.S. foray. It specializes in distinctive stand-mounted speakers with a signature tapered, oculus-shaped design, such as the TD series full-range models featuring fibreglass cones, neodymium magnets, and advanced vibration control for wide frequency response and low noise. Recent releases like the TD307MK3 emphasize high-resolution playback, complemented by powered subwoofers and wireless options.
Positioned as a niche boutique in the high-end hi-fi market, Eclipse commands respect among discerning listeners for its Japanese engineering precision and purity of sound. Though it exited the U.S. car audio aftermarket in 2010 amid industry shifts, its home speakers—priced from affordable pairs to $11,200—appeal to modern audiophiles seeking compact, dynamic performers refined in Kobe's facilities.
