Offered is „Elac FS 247 High End Standlautsprecher in schwarz aus 2015“ by Elac 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 3962101517 ends on 19.11.2026 at 17:17 o'clock.
This is a buyer’s market for this model at the moment, and €939 sits above the typical used range: it’s well over the €692 median and even above the €816 75th percentile, so the asking price reads ambitious rather than sharp. It’s not outrageous if the pair is truly exceptional, but it isn’t a bargain.
That said, the FS 247 is a respected floorstander with real hi-fi credibility: clean imaging, a refined top end, and the sort of balanced, room-filling presentation that makes Elac’s better speakers easy to live with. If the cabinets are tidy, drivers are original, and the seller can confirm careful ownership, it’s still a worthwhile speaker to chase — just with room to negotiate.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Elac, a cornerstone of German audio engineering, traces its origins to September 1, 1926, when Electroacustic GmbH was founded in Kiel by Dr. Heinrich Hecht, Dr. Wilhelm Rudolph, and Gerhard Schmidt. Initially focused on sonar technology and underwater acoustics for maritime applications, the company peaked at 5,000 employees during World War II, supplying the Kriegsmarine. Postwar restrictions pivoted it toward consumer goods like sewing machines and radios, while distributing brands such as Sony, Fisher, and Nakamichi in Germany. By 1978, it divested its nautical division to concentrate on hi-fi, with Austrian CEO Wolfgang John taking the helm in 1981 to steer its modern trajectory.
Elac excels primarily in loudspeakers, renowned for innovations like the 1985 4Pi omnidirectional tweeter and the JET folded-ribbon tweeter, which deliver exceptional dispersion and clarity. Its portfolio spans high-end floorstanders, bookshelves, and compact systems across series like Vela, Solano, and Debut, alongside turntables such as the Miracord lineup, subwoofers, and electronics including amplifiers and DACs. This broad yet speaker-centric range caters to discerning setups from entry-level to reference-grade.
Positioned as a high-end mainstay with mid-tier accessibility, Elac commands respect among audiophiles for its precise German engineering, balancing value and performance without chasing boutique exclusivity. Under John's enduring leadership, it sustains a reputation for dynamic, transparent sound that rivals elite competitors, appealing to knowledgeable buyers seeking timeless quality over fleeting trends.
