Secondlife apparatuur – bang & olufsen m. Troelstra: te koop aangeboden: beolab 5 mk2 fabric black / aluminium silver de beolab 5 mk2 is met zijn 2500 watt het paradepaardje van de bang & oluf
Against the recent EUR comparables, €8,250 lands a bit above the €6,905 median and below the €8,994 75th percentile, so this reads as a solid but not bargain-level asking price. It’s fair for a desirable pair if the presentation is clean and the sale is local enough to avoid major logistics costs, but it isn’t cheap enough to ignore condition.
That still makes sense for a model like this: the Beolab 5 is a statement speaker with real cachet, deep bass authority, and the kind of effortless scale that keeps it relevant long after newer boxes have come and gone. For a buyer, the upside is in complete, well-kept examples with original stands, cables, and fully working drivers/amps; at this level, confirming service history and total functionality is worth doing before committing.
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.
