Whatmough Audio 201 Standmount Loudspeakers Whatmough Monitor 201 with original tilted stands I bought these from the original owner a couple of years ago. I was told that they were bought from Audio Synergy and converted to bi-wire and recapped by Clifford at purchase. Drivers and boxes in good condition. The veneer has peeled off the stands in places (inside of uprights). I have added spikes to the base. Both grills included in good condition. Condition: Fair Payment Method: Paypal, Cash, EFT Region/State: (WA) Western Australia/Australia By kffern 1 Comments AUD $250 Date: October 20, 20
This looks like a good buy and the timing matters less than the price: at AUD $250, it sits below your A$276 25th percentile and well under the A$348 median, so it reads as a clear bargain rather than a merely fair ask. It is not so low that it screams risk; it is simply priced to move.
What makes it worthwhile is that Whatmough 201s have a solid reputation as honest, well-balanced Aussie standmounts with real staying power in the used market, and the model is old enough that good examples are getting harder to find. A clean good-condition pair at this level is the sort of listing fellow enthusiasts should take seriously, especially if the cabinets, drivers, and any original accessories are all present and intact.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Whatmough Audio, originally founded as Whatmough Monitors, traces its roots to Australia in 1976, when designer Colin Whatmough launched the Mk II, a pioneering large transmission line/open baffle hybrid loudspeaker. Based in Clayton, Victoria, near Melbourne, the brand emerged from Whatmough's passion for innovative speaker design, establishing a strong domestic presence that endures today under distributors like Westan and The Audio Experts. Though Whatmough passed away in 2011, his legacy persists through ongoing production nearly 50 years later.
The company specializes in high-end loudspeakers, with a reputation for precision-engineered models that prioritize exceptional sound quality. Iconic designs like the P33 Signature and the newer Emotion range exemplify their focus on advanced driver integration and cabinetry, often incorporating transmission line technology. While drivers may now source internationally, assembly remains tied to Australian craftsmanship, setting them apart in the hi-fi landscape.
Positioned as a niche boutique high-end brand, Whatmough commands respect among discerning Australian audiophiles for its award-winning performance and uncompromised engineering. It appeals to knowledgeable buyers seeking refined, emotionally engaging speakers rather than mass-market options, maintaining a cult following in a market dominated by imports.
