Angeboten wird „RL801K, RL801 K, RL 801, ME 801K Profi Aktivlautsprecher“ von Musikelectronic Geithain als Neugerät aus der Kategorie „Aktivlautsprecher“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 6232049333 endet am 07.10.2026 um 06:53 Uhr.
Timing doesn’t matter much here in the sense of replacement-model risk: Geithain’s 801-series is an established pro monitor design, so the real question is condition and completeness rather than waiting for a newer generation. At €28,760, this is well above the recent used-market median of €12,390 and even above the 75th percentile of €15,828, so I’d call it ambitious rather than fair for a normal used listing.
That said, the RL801K is genuinely respected for serious monitoring: tight bass for its size, very controlled directivity, and the kind of tonal honesty that makes it a studio-class long-term buy. If this is a clean, well-kept example with provenance, original accessories, and no driver or amp-module issues, the appeal is real — but at this price I’d want exceptional condition, recent servicing, and a strong reason why it belongs above the top of the comparable range.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Musikelectronic Geithain (ME Geithain) traces its roots to May 1960, when Joachim Kiesler and two watchmakers founded a production cooperative in Geithain, Germany, a small town southeast of Leipzig. The company survived East Germany's nationalization in 1972, operating as VEB Musikelectronic Geithain before Kiesler and colleagues successfully reclaimed private ownership in 1992 following reunification. This remarkable continuity through political upheaval distinguishes ME Geithain as one of the few Eastern German audio manufacturers to emerge intact from the Cold War era.
ME Geithain specializes exclusively in high-end loudspeakers and studio monitors, a focus refined since the early 1980s. The company is renowned for proprietary coaxial and bass cardioid driver technologies paired with active amplifier electronics, all designed and manufactured in-house. Landmark products include the legendary BR 25 loudspeaker, presented in 1984, and the RL 900 broadcast monitor, which became standard equipment across East German broadcasting institutions and prestigious venues including the Leipzig Gewandhaus and Berlin Schauspielhaus.
Today, ME Geithain occupies a respected niche in the high-end market, particularly among European mastering studios, professional broadcast facilities, and discerning audiophiles. The brand commands premium positioning justified by hand-crafted construction, German engineering, and over six decades of acoustic expertise. While relatively obscure outside professional and enthusiast circles, ME Geithain maintains a reputation as a reference-grade manufacturer where quality and performance command prices reflecting genuine artisanal production values rather than mass-market accessibility.
