Offered is „P3 ESR se“ 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 752639358 ends on 25.12.2026 at 12:20 o'clock.
Compared with buying a larger, more generic standmount at this money, €950 is a strong deal for the Harbeth P3ESR SE. It sits below the €1,024 25th-percentile figure from two recent comparable listings and well under the €1,099 median, making it an unusually attractive entry into the model rather than merely a fair price.
The P3ESR SE earns its reputation with exceptionally natural vocals and midrange, convincing nearfield imaging, and a clean, unforced presentation that suits acoustic music, jazz, chamber work, and long listening sessions. Its sealed cabinet and compact dimensions make placement relatively manageable, though the modest bass extension and low 83.5 dB sensitivity favor sensible amplification and good stands. At this price, a clean, complete pair is a buying opportunity; confirm both grilles, matching serials, undamaged drivers, and original terminals before committing.
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.
