Seller's Description

Zum Verkauf stehen bemerkenswert gut erhaltene RFT BR 2725 Lautsprecher. Kenner wissen, worum es sich hier handelt.
Die legendären Boxen aus der Entwicklung von Musikelektronik Geithain (der direkte und nochmals verbesserte Nachfolger der berühmten BR 25).

Ich habe die Lautsprecher sehr gerne gehört, aber da ich mein Setup verändere, dürfen sie nun weiterziehen. Sie machen einfach unglaublich viel Spaß beim Musikhören – ein glasklarer, warmer und ehrlicher Sound, den man in dieser Preisklasse heute kaum noch findet.

Sehr guter und gepflegter optischer Zustand mit minimalen Gebrauchsspuren.
Die Lautsprecher sind technisch einwandfrei, nichts kratzt, rauscht oder klirrt. Die Bass-Sicken wurden professionell erneuert und spielen wieder wie am ersten Tag.

RFT BR 2725 (Konstant) 2-Wege-BassreflexsystemPerfekt für das Wohnzimmer-HiFi-Setup oder das HeilstudioAm liebsten ist mir, wenn du vorbeikommst und bei einem Testlauf in Ruhe anhörst.

Ein Versand ist (nach Absprache und auf Risiko des Käufers) möglich, aber Abholung wird bevorzugt.

Our Thoughts RADAR AI

This is a late-era vintage buy, so timing matters mostly in terms of condition rather than model scarcity. At €419, it sits well above the typical used market for this speaker, with the listed median at €236 and the 75th percentile at €327, so this asks ambitious money rather than fair money.

The upside is that BR 2725s are respected for clean, dynamic, easy-to-like vintage sound, and a tidy original pair can still make strong sense for someone who wants that RFT character. But at this level, the value only really works if they’re exceptionally clean, fully original, and ideally freshly serviced; otherwise, the buyer is paying a premium without much room left for the usual age-related work.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About RFT

RFT, or Rundfunk- und Fernmelde-Technik, emerged in the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) during the Cold War era, functioning not as a single manufacturer but as a state consortium uniting numerous VEB (state-owned) enterprises in radio, television, and telecommunications. Active from the 1950s through the 1980s, it coordinated production across factories like VEB Funkwerk Köpenick and VEB Nachrichtenelektronik, branding a diverse array of electronics under the RFT label for domestic and export markets. This collective structure reflected the centralized economy of the GDR, with no individual founder but a legacy tied to postwar industrial revival.

The brand's product focus centered on consumer and professional audio gear, including bookshelf speakers, full-range drivers, vacuum tubes, and communications electronics like radios and two-way systems. Iconic examples encompass 1970s RFT bookshelf speakers with Tesla-sourced drivers, 1950s EGB (RFT) units for high-sensitivity radio applications, and ECC83 preamp tubes widely used in European amps. Amplifiers and turntables appeared sporadically via consortium members, but RFT excelled in affordable, robust loudspeakers and components rather than high-fidelity esoterica.

Today, RFT occupies a niche vintage-collector space among hi-fi enthusiasts, prized for its utilitarian GDR engineering and surprising sonic performance—often high-sensitivity designs that punch above their budget origins. Far from high-end or contemporary mid-tier contenders, these pieces appeal to retro hunters seeking Cold War-era bargains with character, though sourcing verified originals demands caution amid rebrands and fakes. Obscure outside specialist circles, RFT evokes affordable analog nostalgia without pretension.
