Harbeth hl5 Rosewood Ena högtalaren har tyvärr märke efter katt.se bild Hämtas och betalas på plats
This is a buyer’s market for this category at the moment: at kr 16,000, this sits well below the kr 24,657 25th percentile and far under the kr 31,761 median, so it reads as a strong deal rather than merely fair. For a respected monitor-style speaker, that’s the kind of pricing that usually gets attention quickly.
The appeal here is straightforward: Harbeth’s Super HL5 is prized for natural midrange tone, easy long-term listenability, and a big, convincing presentation that works beautifully with vocals, jazz, acoustic music, and small-scale classical. If the cabinets, drivers, and stands are all in good shape, this is a very sensible buy with little downside at the asking price; just verify there’s no damage, driver fatigue, or missing parts, since condition matters more than usual on older British speakers.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Harbeth Audio Ltd. traces its origins to 1977, when BBC Research Department engineer H.D. (Dudley) Harwood founded the company in the UK upon his retirement. Harwood, a pioneer in loudspeaker cone materials, commercialized his inventions—including polypropylene cones developed during four decades of BBC-funded research—to produce monitor speakers that echoed the broadcaster's precision standards. This heritage, rooted in the BBC's comprehensive loudspeaker investigations from the 1960s and 1970s, positioned Harbeth as a direct descendant of iconic designs like the LS3/5a.
The brand focuses exclusively on high-fidelity loudspeakers, eschewing amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables. Harbeth's innovations center on proprietary materials and engineering, notably the patented RADIAL™ cone introduced in the 1990s, which minimizes distortion for exceptional clarity and natural reproduction. Standout models include the Super HL5 Plus, Monitor 30.1, and Monitor 40.2, all refined through ongoing refinements to critically damped cabinets, polymeric cones, and crossover networks.
Harbeth commands a revered position in the high-end hi-fi market as a niche boutique specialist, prized by discerning audiophiles for its balanced, transparent sound that prioritizes musicality over hype. Under Alan Shaw's leadership since 1986, blending BBC traditions with rigorous quality control, it sustains an irrefutable reputation for world-class performance at low-to-medium volumes, earning critical acclaim worldwide.
