Offered is „Prestige Three“ by QLN 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 8569952994 ends on 23.12.2026 at 18:00 o'clock.
The Prestige Three is widely regarded as the sweet spot in QLN’s range, combining high-end refinement with unusually deep bass for a compact floorstander. At €5,200, this is a fair-to-strong buy: it is virtually identical to the €5,208 median from three recent comparable listings, comfortably above the €3,349 25th percentile but well below the €7,515 75th percentile.
Its appeal is a smooth, rich, spacious presentation with excellent midrange coherence, clean treble, and agile bass extending into the sub-30Hz region. The 8-ohm, 87.5dB design is reasonably amplifier-friendly, while careful placement—roughly 50cm or more from the rear wall—helps balance the powerful low end. In good condition, this looks like a sensible opportunity rather than a speculative purchase; confirm both original grilles, terminals, and cabinet finish before committing.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
QLN Acoustics, a Swedish hi-fi brand, was founded in 1977 by Nils Liljeroth and Lars Quicklund, with Mats Andersen joining in 1982 as a key designer. The company quickly gained traction in Europe, North America, and the Far East during the early 1980s, building a reputation for innovative loudspeakers that prioritize natural sound reproduction and precise soundstaging. After a challenging period from 2003 to 2012 under different ownership that produced less acclaimed products, Andersen repurchased the brand in 2013, reviving its original ethos with updated classics.
QLN focuses exclusively on high-quality loudspeakers, handcrafted in Sweden, rather than amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables. Signature models like the Prestige series (including the One, Five, and recent flagship Reference 9), Signature 3, Qubic 10, and Sonora floorstander feature distinctive truncated pyramid cabinets, time-aligned drivers, slanted baffles, and proprietary Qboard damping for minimal resonance and cabinet noise. These designs emphasize effortless musical flow and a "disappearing act" where the speakers vanish, leaving only the performance.
Positioned as a niche boutique in the high-end market, QLN commands cult status among discerning audiophiles for its timeless Scandinavian engineering and uncompromised fidelity. Revived models honor 1980s icons while incorporating decades of refinement, appealing to buyers seeking refined, musically engaging compact and floorstanding options that integrate seamlessly into modern homes.
