Offered is „116 F High-End Standlautsprecher“ by MBL as second-hand device from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 2600309013 ends on 25.10.2026 at 14:22 o'clock.
At €19,999, this is priced right around the obvious alternative of waiting for a similarly sorted used pair from the wider market, and it lands essentially on the median of recent comparable listings rather than stretching past it. With the 25th percentile at €18,149 and the 75th at €21,110, this reads as a fair, market-true ask for a desirable full-range speaker, not a bargain-bin score but also not an ambitious reach.
That makes it interesting for the usual MBL strengths: big, effortless scale, superb image stability, and that unmistakably open, room-filling presentation that very few conventional speakers match. In good condition, a clean pair like this is the sort of purchase that can anchor a system for years, so the real question is less about value and more about fit, room size, and whether the presentation is what you want long term.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
MBL stands as a German high-end audio manufacturer founded in 1979 by three engineers—Meletzky, Beinecke, and Lehnhardt—whose initials form the company name. The brand emerged from Berlin with a singular vision: to create loudspeakers that distribute sound omnidirectionally in a 360-degree pattern, a radical departure from conventional speaker design. This breakthrough technology, called the Radialstrahler (radial emitter), debuted at the 1979 IFA Berlin trade fair and immediately captured the audio world's attention with its distinctive "rocket" shape and room-filling acoustic performance.
MBL's product portfolio centers on high-end loudspeakers and premium audio electronics, with the company maintaining complete in-house manufacturing of all components and speakers near Berlin. The brand has built its reputation on precision engineering combined with handcrafted assembly, ensuring meticulous quality control across its lineup. While loudspeakers remain the cornerstone of MBL's identity, the company has expanded into complementary electronics to serve discerning audiophiles seeking integrated solutions.
Positioned firmly in the luxury high-end segment, MBL commands respect among serious collectors and enthusiasts willing to invest substantially in audio excellence. The brand's nearly five-decade heritage, German manufacturing credentials, and pioneering omnidirectional speaker technology have established MBL as a globally recognized leader in high-fidelity audio. The company's commitment to in-house production and its role in shaping the modern high-end audio industry underscore its status as a premium, innovation-driven manufacturer rather than a mass-market player.
