Offered is „Super HL5plus XD + TonTräger Stands“ by Harbeth Acoustics as second-hand device from the category „Compact Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 7201202888 ends on 12.11.2026 at 10:35 o'clock.
Harbeth’s Super HL5 Plus sits in the sweet spot of the lineup: a big, natural-sounding standmount with the midrange charm and scale that made the brand a reference for many listeners. At €4,250, this listing lands above the €3,444 median and even past the €4,133 75th percentile, so it reads as ambitious rather than a bargain.
That said, buyers pay up for this model because it does voices, acoustic instruments, and long listening sessions so well; it’s one of those speakers that rewards mature systems and careful placement. In good condition, with no cabinet damage and the original grilles/boxes if available, it can still be a very worthwhile buy — just expect to negotiate unless there’s some meaningful extra value attached.
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.
