Offered is „Wie Neu! Harbeth Super HL5 Plus XD2 mit Tonträger Ständern“ 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 3900991888 ends on 15.12.2026 at 15:36 o'clock.
In good condition, €4,999 is an ambitious ask: it sits just above the €4,146 median and slightly exceeds the €4,967 75th-percentile figure from nine recent comparable listings. It is not automatically unreasonable for an especially clean, late-production pair, but the listing would need strong provenance or extras to justify paying a top-of-market premium.
The Super HL5 Plus remains a highly regarded, genuinely versatile monitor: its open, natural midrange, smooth off-axis balance, extended bass, and airy treble make it an engaging long-term listen. Its 6-ohm load is amplifier-friendly, though sensible stands and some room from the rear wall matter. At this price, confirm the pair is matched, inspect veneer and grilles closely, test every driver, and check that original packaging and any accessories are included; otherwise, negotiating toward the median would be sensible.
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.
