Diptyque Audio DP160 Planar Ribbon Speakers Ex Demo Excellent condition and full working order with 2 year guarantee. Here we got a NOS Diptyque Audio DP160 planar magnetic loudspeakers They only had been opened to go on demo during a single show event, so they are virtually new and with full warranty. DP 140 and 160 had been discontinued recently, as company decided to re-design the range in the spirit of the newest Reference, which are made full of metal parts. Those two had been built previou...
At £5,500, this looks like a strong bargain: it sits well below the £8,674 25th percentile and far under the £14,918 median for recent comparable UK listings. For a pair of big Diptyque planars, that’s the kind of gap that should make a serious buyer pay attention rather than hesitate.

Ex-demo condition is a real plus if it’s genuinely clean and complete, especially on a model like this where careful handling matters.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Diptyque Audio emerged in 2001 from the collaboration of two French acoustics enthusiasts, Gilles Douziech and Eric Poix, in the workshops of Montauban in southwest France. Their partnership began with a prototype speaker created for a contemporary art exhibition, sparking years of experimentation with materials, shapes, and assembly techniques to prioritize musical emotion over conventional design.
The brand specializes exclusively in planar loudspeakers, employing a proprietary refinement of 1970s American magnetostatic principles, which they term Isodynamic Technology. Each model, such as the DP 107, is handcrafted as a unique artisanal object, with innovations focused on enhancing bass response and overall fidelity in flat-panel drivers. Diptyque avoids diversification into amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables, concentrating instead on these visually striking, high-end speakers.
Positioned as a niche boutique in the high-end hi-fi market, Diptyque Audio commands respect among discerning buyers for its made-in-France craftsmanship and emotional sound delivery. Reviews praise their ability to transcend technical limitations of planar designs, appealing to collectors seeking rare, sculptural audio art that blends aesthetics with audiophile performance.
