Offered is „DP 160 MK-II Magnitostatic Loudspeakers“ by diptyque as exhibit from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 8075932234 ends on 16.11.2026 at 12:38 o'clock.
These are notable because Diptyque’s large planar speakers have a real following for their open, expansive presentation. At €11,800, this sits a touch above the €10,956 median but still well inside the normal used range versus the €7,717 to €15,122 spread, so I’d call it fair rather than cheap or ambitious.
What makes the buy attractive is the usual Diptyque draw: fast transient response, big soundstage, and a very “live” midband that rewards careful partnering and room placement. In good condition, they’re the kind of speaker that can anchor a serious system for years, and this price looks reasonable if the panels are healthy and the sale includes the original supports, grilles, and any packing.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Diptyque Audio emerged in 2001 from the collaboration of two French acoustics enthusiasts, Gilles Douziech and Eric Poix, in the workshops of Montauban in southwest France. Their partnership began with a prototype speaker created for a contemporary art exhibition, sparking years of experimentation with materials, shapes, and assembly techniques to prioritize musical emotion over conventional design.
The brand specializes exclusively in planar loudspeakers, employing a proprietary refinement of 1970s American magnetostatic principles, which they term Isodynamic Technology. Each model, such as the DP 107, is handcrafted as a unique artisanal object, with innovations focused on enhancing bass response and overall fidelity in flat-panel drivers. Diptyque avoids diversification into amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables, concentrating instead on these visually striking, high-end speakers.
Positioned as a niche boutique in the high-end hi-fi market, Diptyque Audio commands respect among discerning buyers for its made-in-France craftsmanship and emotional sound delivery. Reviews praise their ability to transcend technical limitations of planar designs, appealing to collectors seeking rare, sculptural audio art that blends aesthetics with audiophile performance.
