Angeboten wird „Signature in Walnut Burl Piano“ von QLN als Ausstellungsstück aus der Kategorie „Kompaktlautsprecher“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 6224191310 endet am 09.10.2026 um 06:23 Uhr.
Against your recent-comp set, €18,800 is not a bargain — it sits well above the €7,691 75th percentile, so I’d call it ambitious for the used market. It’s roughly 4× the median €4,742, which means the seller is asking top-tier money and then some.
That said, this is the kind of QLN that can justify a premium if it’s a genuinely special finish, fully original, and in genuinely clean cosmetic and technical shape. The upside is in the brand’s reputation for serious, refined loudspeakers and the appeal of a well-kept, visually striking pair; if the set is complete, unmodified, and locally available to audition, it could still make sense for the right buyer.
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.
