Offered is „Reference Center – Black Ash“ by Audio Physic as second-hand device from the category „Surround Center-Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 2931664683 ends on 12.10.2026 at 08:59 o'clock.
Audio Physic’s Reference Center sits in the sweet spot of a serious home-theater/hi-fi system, and at €1,350 this looks like a strong deal versus the recent market. With a median at €3,644 and a 25th percentile at €1,346, this asking price is essentially at the bottom of the pack, which makes it unusually attractive rather than merely fair.
That’s the kind of listing that rewards a buyer who values performance over flash: these center speakers are known for clean dialogue, wide dispersion, and a refined, open presentation that tends to blend well with higher-end mains. In good cosmetic condition, the upside is real, especially if the finish is intact and the driver complement is original. At this price, the main checks are simple: confirm all drivers are healthy, the cabinet has no swelling or corner damage, and any grille or mounting hardware is included.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Audio Physic, a German loudspeaker specialist, was founded in 1985 in Brilon, Sauerland, by Joachim Gerhard and Willi Hegener (also referenced as Wilhelm Hegener). Dissatisfied with prevailing speaker designs, Gerhard modified units like the ProAc Tablette, leading to their debut Tempo bookshelf model and rapid acclaim. The 1989 Avanti flagship cemented their breakthrough, earning international praise in The Absolute Sound and establishing a signature style of compact, elegantly finished speakers with audiophile precision. Handcrafted in their Brilon facility to this day, the brand remains one of Germany's few remaining loudspeaker makers, sourcing locally for quality control.
The company focuses exclusively on high-end loudspeakers, eschewing amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables. Their portfolio spans bookshelf, floorstanding, and statement models, renowned for innovations like downward-firing bass drivers—a hallmark from the Avanti—and vibration-damping techniques via 3D printing. Developers like Gerhard, dubbed "the Magician," and current chief Manfred Diestertich prioritize detail retrieval, expansive soundstaging, and dynamic resolution.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Audio Physic commands respect among discerning audiophiles for "no loss of fine detail," blending living-room-friendly designs with reference-level performance. Over four decades, they've evolved from garage origins to global benchmarks in resolution and musicality, appealing to buyers seeking German engineering's obstinate pursuit of sonic truth.
