Offered is „Prestige One inklusive Stands“ by QLN as exhibit from the category „Compact Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 525262165 ends on 20.10.2026 at 07:16 o'clock.
At €4,800, this used Qln PRESTIGE ONE pair sits just above the median (€4,466) of recent EUR listings but well below the 75th percentile (€5,118), making it a fair price for EUR-grade condition rather than a bargain. You’re paying for a well-regarded Swedish reference monitor that delivers endearing, direct music reproduction with a compact bookshelf form and award-winning two-way performance, including a 42Hz low-frequency response and 87.5 dB sensitivity.
The upside here is strong: these monitors are rare outside Nordic markets, often sold new at €6,800–€7,250 (~€6,300–€6,700 EUR), so finding them used in clean owner condition at under €5,000 offers meaningful value. Unless the listing hides missing stands, cabinet damage, or driver wear—common only in heavier-used pairs—this is a buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking high-fidelity clarity without floorstander bulk.
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.
