Offered is „Lifestyle AV48 (REDUCED !)“ by Bose as second-hand device from the category „Complete HiFi System“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 8904147784 ends on 07.11.2026 at 06:03 o'clock.
Condition is good, which makes €390 a pretty steep ask against the local used benchmark: it’s far above the €111 median, the €96 25th percentile, and even the €293 75th percentile, so this is clearly ambitious rather than fair. On the numbers alone, you’d want strong extras or exceptional completeness to justify it.
That said, this is a classic Bose lifestyle bass module, and these units are bought for easy integration, compact footprint, and the kind of room-filling low end that suits a simple living-room setup. If it’s complete and fully working, the upside is convenience and plug-and-play usability — but at this price I’d only lean in if it includes the right cabling/controls and presents unusually clean for its age.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Bose Corporation traces its roots to 1964, when MIT professor Amar Gopal Bose founded the company in Natick, Massachusetts, after growing disillusioned with the poor performance of a high-end stereo system he purchased as a graduate student. Driven by a passion for replicating the immersive qualities of live music through rigorous acoustic research, Bose launched the venture with initial contracts for the U.S. military and NASA, emphasizing innovative speaker designs that prioritized indirect, reverberant sound over direct radiation. This American heritage, rooted in psychoacoustics and engineering excellence, has defined the brand's pursuit of "Better Sound Through Research."
Bose excels in consumer and professional audio categories, renowned for its home audio systems, premium speakers like the iconic 901 Series, and pioneering noise-canceling headphones first prototyped in the 1980s for pilots. The lineup extends to vehicle sound systems, portable Bluetooth speakers, and professional installations, but steers clear of niche hi-fi components such as amplifiers, turntables, DACs, or cables, focusing instead on integrated, user-friendly solutions that blend advanced signal processing with spatial audio reproduction.
Positioned as a premium mid-tier powerhouse in the global market, Bose commands widespread appeal among discerning buyers seeking accessible high-performance audio without audiophile esoterica. Its reputation for innovation and reliability has built a loyal following, though purists occasionally critique its measured sound signature, cementing Bose as a dominant force in mainstream hi-fi rather than high-end boutique or vintage realms.
