It may be one or two pairs in the world. Finish in stunning Porsche Tobacco Brown with Matte Gold spine base & front baffle. Original Packing and all accessories including Freedom Ground Cable.
This is a buyer’s market for used R3 Arreté pairs if the condition is genuinely excellent, because £5,800 sits a bit above the model’s original mid-tier street price and below the premium new-launch territory, but not low enough to call it a steal. On the used market, that makes it fair-to-strong money rather than a bargain, so I’d treat it as good value only if it includes the original spikes, jumpers/grounding bits, packaging, and shows no cabinet or driver issues.
What you’re buying is a compact high-end floorstander that’s well liked for its open, spacious treble, easy driveability, and cohesive, lively presentation; the 90.5dB sensitivity and 8-ohm rating also make amp matching less fussy than many rivals. The upside here is that clean, well-kept examples are worth paying for, especially if they’ve been lightly used in a good room and retained all accessories, because the Arreté version is the one most buyers actually seek out.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

Klifoth's vision—to craft natural-sounding loudspeakers for discerning music lovers—launched with the unconventional Trapeze series, featuring asymmetrical cabinets that minimized standing waves through non-parallel surfaces. Now led by his son Mads Klifoth as CEO, this family-owned enterprise upholds a legacy of bold design choices, blending tradition with cutting-edge developments over four decades.
Audiovector specializes exclusively in high-end loudspeakers, producing both passive and active models across series like R, SR, and QR. Renowned for modular upgradeability, allowing owners to evolve systems without replacement, their speakers incorporate proprietary technologies such as rear-firing bass-midrange drivers for superior soundstaging and the Freedom Grounding System for chassis earthing. Every unit is hand-assembled in-house using premium materials, prioritizing linear dynamics, phase accuracy, and low compression for lifelike reproduction.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Audiovector commands respect among audiophiles for its exceptional build quality, innovative engineering, and worldwide acclaim.
