Offered is „SP 2-3 R“ by Spendor 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 913314002 ends on 07.11.2026 at 06:45 o'clock.
Compared with the obvious alternative at this price point—paying close to the median for a clean pair and getting nothing extra—this one is slightly under market at €1,680 versus a €1,803 median, and just below the €1,735 25th percentile. That makes it a good buy, though not a screaming bargain; the pricing sits in the lower end of the current used range rather than decisively below it.
What makes it worth a look is that this model has a strong reputation for natural midrange, easy tonality, and real music-first balance, so a clean, working pair tends to age well in serious systems. At this level, the main upside is getting a respected classic without paying median money; if the cabinets, drivers, and grilles are tidy and all original, it’s a sensible enthusiast purchase.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Spendor, a quintessential British hi-fi brand, traces its origins to the late 1960s when BBC sound engineer Spencer Hughes and his wife Dorothy founded the company in Sussex, England—the name itself a clever fusion of "Spen" and "Dor." Drawing on Spencer's expertise alongside co-designer Dudley Harwood, they pioneered the BC1 loudspeaker in 1969, featuring the world's first commercial 8-inch plastic cone driver made from innovative Bextrene material. This breakthrough quickly established Spendor as the monitor of choice for broadcasters, recording studios, and discerning listeners worldwide, setting a benchmark for transparent, natural sound.
The brand focuses exclusively on loudspeakers, designing, engineering, and hand-building every driver, crossover, and cabinet in their Sussex facility. Their lineup spans the accessible A series for mainstream buyers, the premium D series for high-end performance, and the Classic line, which revives iconic designs like the BC1 with modern polymer and Kevlar cones, cast-magnesium chassis, and advanced motor systems. Spendor eschews amplifiers, turntables, or headphones, prioritizing pure speaker innovation rooted in BBC-honed precision.
Today, under owner Philip Swift since 2000, Spendor holds a revered position as a high-end, heritage British marque, blending vintage collector appeal with contemporary excellence. Renowned among audiophiles and professionals for smooth, low-distortion imaging and musicality, it remains a global reference standard, entirely made in the UK to captivate serious hi-fi enthusiasts.
