Philips ad 12672 m8 full range 12 inch 8 ohm 60 watt. Vintage speakers uit 1984. Hebben kort op een demo bord gezeten daarna nooit meer gebruikt worden in deze staat zelden of nooit aangeboden.
At €150, this sits well above the recent used market for similar EUR listings, where the median is €54 and even the 75th percentile is only €112, so the asking price looks ambitious rather than a bargain. For a single 12-inch full-range driver, that’s a strong premium unless this example is unusually clean, fully original, or comes from a particularly sought-after build.
What makes it interesting is the classic wideband appeal: a big paper-cone full-range Philips can deliver that easy, coherent midrange and efficient vintage charm that many hobbyists chase for open-baffle, simple cabinet, or DIY use. The upside is highest if the cone, voice coil, and surround are healthy and the driver is cosmetically tidy; at this price, a buyer should want clear proof of condition and originality before jumping in.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
