Offered is „Raptor S (Echtholz Mahagoni Klavierlack)“ by Ayon Audio 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 4080510399 ends on 18.11.2026 at 10:55 o'clock.
€1,600 looks like a strong buy for an Ayon Raptor-S if it’s genuinely as described. Recent used asks I found cluster around €1,700 to €2,800, with the model originally sitting near €10,000, so this is clearly on the low side of normal used-market pricing rather than merely “fair.”
That makes the value proposition compelling: the Raptor-S is a serious, statement floorstander with the kind of dynamic, open, high-efficiency presentation Ayon is known for, and it’s the sort of speaker that can sound bigger and more alive than many conventional boxes at the same money. At this price, a clean cabinet set, working drivers, and any original packaging or paperwork are meaningful upside; only the usual due diligence on condition, driver health, and matching is worth doing, not because the price is bad, but because it’s good enough to merit a careful look.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Ayon Audio traces its roots to Austria, where it emerged four decades ago as VAIC before evolving into Ayon Audio in 2001 under the leadership of founder Gerhard Hirt. This transition marked a pivotal shift toward innovative vacuum tube audio design, building on Hirt's enduring ownership of the VAIC trademark and his passion for sonic purity.
The brand specializes in a comprehensive lineup of vacuum tube components, including power amplifiers, preamplifiers, headphone amplifiers, CD players, DACs, and streamers. Ayon's signature "Voicing"—its proprietary DNA—infuses every product with a distinctive soundstage renowned for depth, realism, and emotional engagement, setting new benchmarks in pure Class A circuit topologies.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Ayon commands global respect with distributors in over 55 countries and a trophy cabinet brimming from "Best Sound" and "Cost No Object" accolades at major audio shows. Austrian-engineered and award-winning, it appeals to discerning audiophiles seeking boutique excellence in tube amplification, far beyond mid-tier compromises.
