Secondlife apparatuur – bang & olufsen m. Troelstra: te koop aangeboden: beosound emerge - slanke designspeaker beosound emerge gold tone / light oak. (Demo model) de beosound emerge is een stijlv
€799 is on the firm side for a used Beosound Emerge, but not outrageous if it’s clean and complete; new pricing has sat around €750–€800, and used examples in Europe often land roughly from the high €300s to around €700 depending on finish and condition. At €799, this is only attractive if it’s effectively near-mint, boxed, or includes a meaningful accessory bundle; otherwise it reads more ambitious than fair.
What keeps it interesting is that the Emerge is genuinely more than a design piece: it’s admired for a surprisingly full, warm sound from a very slim cabinet, with good vocal clarity and enough bass to make sense in a small room. It’s best viewed as a refined, space-saving lifestyle speaker rather than a party box, so the key check is condition, power supply, and whether the finish has any wear. If it’s truly tidy and from a careful owner, the appeal is there—but the price leaves little room for flaws.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Bang & Olufsen was founded on November 17, 1925, in Struer, Denmark, by engineers Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen. The company began in the attic of the Olufsen family manor, Quistrup, where the founders developed The Eliminator—a revolutionary device that allowed radios to operate from mains electricity rather than batteries. This innovation established B&O as a forward-thinking manufacturer and set the tone for nearly a century of technological advancement rooted in Danish design principles.
The brand is primarily known for premium audio and home entertainment systems, including high-fidelity receivers, radiograms, cassette recorders, and contemporary loudspeakers. B&O pioneered several category firsts: the world's first button-operated receiver in the 1930s and Europe's first cassette recorder, the Beocord-84U, in the 1950s. Today, the company manufactures integrated audio systems, wireless speakers, and headphones that blend acoustic engineering with sculptural industrial design.
Bang & Olufsen occupies the luxury segment of the audio market, positioned as a premium lifestyle brand rather than a specialist audiophile manufacturer. The company's reputation rests on its distinctive philosophy of merging form and function—treating audio equipment as crafted objects designed to enhance living spaces aesthetically. Recognized by the Museum of Modern Art in New York and maintained as a visionary enterprise for over a century, B&O appeals to discerning consumers who value Scandinavian design sensibility alongside sonic performance.
