2 mooie speakers, philips fb 840, 120 watt en twee gietijzer speakerplateaus (spikes).
At €150, this sits well above the typical used market for comparable listings: it’s almost 3× the median €55 and also above the 75th percentile at €112, so I’d call it ambitious rather than fair. Against the broader comparable set, you’re paying a premium that needs a very strong reason to justify it.
That said, this is the kind of package that can still make sense if the speaker set is complete, clean, and genuinely plug-and-play; bundled stands/plates often add practical value and can be hard to source neatly afterward. If these are a known Philips setup in good cosmetic and working order, the upside is convenience and a matched, ready-to-use system — but at this price I’d want clear photos, exact model details, and confirmation that everything included is original and intact.

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.
