Adelaide Speakers (Ascension) A1093dqtl Floorstanding Loudspeakers Up for sale are the Adelaide Ascension transmission line speakers. They are in the artisan cabinets which give them a classic art deco kind of look, and are hand made in Adelaide. The sound wonderful with deep bass and warm mids, they are quite sensitive and paired beautifully with the primaluna tube amp (pictured and also for sale) - despite their size the are easy to drive. For $1000 they are an absolute steal quality wise. I am selling as I bought some KEF r3 metas and subs (that don't obscure so much of my view in my l
Compared with buying new, A$1,000 is a sensible mid-market ask for these; against your recent AUD comps, it sits well above the A$250 median and even past the A$130 lower quartile, though still far shy of the A$3,074 upper quartile, so I’d call it fair rather than cheap. If you’ve been waiting for a serious floorstander without jumping into big-money territory, the price is not out of line.
What makes this worth a look is the likely “proper hi-fi” payoff: full-range scale, easy room-filling dynamics, and the sort of effortless presentation that smaller speakers usually can’t match. I’d see this as a buy opportunity if the cabinets are clean and the drivers are original and healthy; at this price, just confirm there’s no voice-coil rub, veneer damage, or sign of crossover fatigue before you commit.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Adelaide Speakers is an obscure Australian hi-fi brand with limited verifiable public information available. While South Australia, particularly Adelaide, has earned a reputation as a hub for high-quality speaker manufacturing—home to established names like Krix (founded in 1974 by electronic engineer Tony Krix), VAF Research (established in 1978 by Philip Vafiadis), and Kyron Audio—no confirmed details emerge on Adelaide Speakers' founding year, specific founder, or precise heritage beyond its base in the region. A website claims it develops hi-fi and home theatre speakers in South Australia to high standards of sound reproduction, accessible across budgets, but lacks deeper historical or biographical substantiation.
The brand appears focused exclusively on speakers for hi-fi and home theatre applications, emphasizing precise sound reproduction without mention of amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables in available sources. This aligns with Adelaide's broader ecosystem of speaker-centric firms producing systems for discerning home cinema and music listeners.
In the market, Adelaide Speakers occupies a niche boutique position among South Australia's audiophile-grade offerings, listed alongside premium marques in enthusiast compilations, though it remains lesser-known compared to Krix's cinema dominance or VAF's handbuilt legacy. Its emphasis on quality at varied price points suggests appeal to knowledgeable buyers seeking local engineering excellence, but without robust reviews or sales data, its reputation stays unproven.
