The fabulous Scansonic M5 speakers in excellent condition and perfect working order. I was blown away by these as ha e been pretty much every reviewer. It’s htd to believe just how good these are. ….”So I was a bit shocked to hear what I heard from these tiny little bookshelves, the Scansonic M5. They retail around $550, which makes them one of the best deals I’ve ever come across in audio. Why? Because they soundstage and image better than any speaker I’ve tested this week, maybe except for the amazing PSB Imagine T3s (review to come). They render the piano better th... read more
At £175, this is a strong bargain against the current used-market anchor: it sits well below the £735 25th percentile and miles under the £1,762 median, so the pricing looks very buyer-friendly. For a clean pair in excellent condition, that’s the kind of listing that usually deserves quick attention rather than haggling.
The appeal here is straightforward: well-kept used speakers at this level can be an easy way into a respected slim-floorstander without paying the usual second-hand premium. The main thing to confirm is straightforward completeness and working order — drivers, grilles, terminals, and cabinet corners — but at this price those checks are about protecting a good buy, not looking for trouble.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Scansonic is a Danish loudspeaker brand with roots in the country’s broader hi-fi engineering scene, but its exact founding story is a little muddled in public sources. The brand’s current identity is tied to Dantax in Denmark, and it is presented as drawing on a long Nordic design heritage rather than on a loudly promoted founder-led narrative.
The brand is best known for speakers, especially compact bookshelf models, floorstanders, and home-cinema/subwoofer products. Coverage of the line repeatedly emphasizes its connection to Raidho-style design thinking and driver technology, which positions Scansonic as a specialist loudspeaker maker rather than a full-line electronics brand.
In market terms, Scansonic sits in the upper mid-range to high-end niche: more attainable than true statement audio, but clearly aimed at serious hi-fi buyers who care about design, refinement, and performance. Reviewers and distributors describe it as a respected Danish brand with strong heritage cues and some of the engineering cachet associated with Raidho, which helps it punch above its price tier.
