Lenehan Audio ML2 Reference (Update) Bookshelf Loudspeakers For sale are my wonderful sounding pair of rare, solid Tasmanian Oak Lenehan ML2 Reference (Update) stand-mount speakers with accompanying stands. I bought them from their original owner via SNA a bit over two years ago, and have loved my time with them. They were made in 2015, and have been continuously housed in pet-free, smoke-free, dedicated listening rooms. I have changed direction with my system towards valves and open baffle speakers so these need to go to a new home. The specifications of the standard ML2 Reference are
Assuming the condition is genuinely good, A$4,000 looks fair-to-solid for ML2 Reference speakers. That sits right in the middle of the typical used range I’d expect for this model, so it’s not a steal, but it’s not inflated either.
The ML2 Reference is a well-regarded Australian monitor: dense cabinetry, serious build quality, and a refined, revealing presentation that can play much bigger than its size suggests. If the pair includes stands, original packaging, or a clean service/history trail, that adds real value. At this price, I’d mainly confirm cosmetic condition, driver health, and that everything is original and working as it should.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Lenehan Audio emerged from humble beginnings in Australia, starting as a converted garage workshop in Nerang, Queensland, before expanding to a dedicated factory in Ashmore on the Gold Coast. Founded by longtime audiophile speaker designer Dave Lenehan, the brand has built a dedicated heritage in handcrafted audio, earning a loyal following among discerning enthusiasts in the region.
The company specializes in exceptional loudspeakers, with models like the acclaimed ML1 standing out for their precise engineering. These passive two-way designs feature high-quality components such as a 5.5-inch Nomex driver, a one-inch soft dome tweeter, and custom-tuned crossovers, delivering accurate, balanced sound. While primarily focused on speakers, Lenehan Audio positions itself as Australian-made high-end audio professionals, emphasizing direct sales to eliminate excessive retail margins.
Lenehan Audio occupies a niche boutique position in the high-end market, prized by knowledgeable hi-fi buyers for superb construction and performance at accessible prices, such as $2500 per pair for the ML1. Its reputation rests on meticulous, small-batch production rather than mass-market volume, appealing to those seeking authentic Australian craftsmanship. Note that as of March 2025, the brand rebranded to Lenehan Brothers under Dave's siblings Russell and Martin.
