Seller's Description

Nette set mordaunt-short avant 903i prijs 50,-

Our Thoughts RADAR AI

Fair deal: €50 is comfortably below the going used range I’d expect for these, which tends to land around roughly €80–€130 for a working pair, with nicer examples sometimes higher. At this level, it’s priced like a quick buy rather than a carefully squeezed listing.

That makes it a worthwhile grab if the drivers, cabinets, and terminals are all healthy. The 903i is a well-regarded bipole surround speaker with a smooth, room-filling presentation, and they’re still handy for a compact multichannel setup or a vintage AV rig. Main things to check are both tweeters playing, no cone damage, and any sign of water ingress or abused terminals; if it’s complete and working, this is a solid low-risk buy.

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

About Mordaunt Short

Mordaunt-Short emerged in 1967 from London, when audio enthusiasts Norman Mordaunt and Rodney Short joined forces to craft loudspeakers blending British engineering precision with accessible excellence. Relocating to Petersfield, Hampshire, the company quickly built a heritage rooted in innovation, launching iconic lines like Festival, Carnival, and Pageant in the late 1970s, followed by the enduring MS20, MS30, and MS40 ranges in the 1980s. Acquired by TGI Plc in 1987—forming Europe's largest loudspeaker maker alongside Tannoy and Goodmans—and later by Audio Partnership Plc in 1999, it sustained its family-like devotion to sonic purity amid corporate shifts.

The brand has steadfastly focused on loudspeakers, eschewing diversification into amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables. Standouts include the MS25 and 35ti models of 1987, the Declaration and Premiere series post-1999, and later entries like Avant, Performance, Aviano, and Mezzo, all emphasizing reliable, high-fidelity sound reproduction through refined driver designs and cabinetry.

Positioned as a mid-tier British stalwart, Mordaunt-Short earned acclaim for delivering neutral, detailed audio without premium pricing, appealing to discerning buyers seeking value-driven hi-fi. Though its prominence waned in the 2010s as parent Audio Partnership prioritized Cambridge Audio—leading to discontinued premium lines—its legacy endures among vintage collectors and loyalists, with the official site affirming ongoing traditions of award-winning British speaker craft.
