Deze speakers zijn niet gereviseerd. We hebben ze uitgebreid beluisterd en geconcludeerd dat revisie onnodig is. Ze zijn wél opnieuw afgeregeld. Elektronische hifi luidsprekerbox met motional feedback
At €190, this Philips 22RH544 is a genuine bargain, sitting well below the €238 25th percentile and the €283 median from your database, making it far cheaper than the obvious alternative of buying generic used bookshelves at this price. You’re getting legendary Motional Feedback (MFB) monitors famously used to mix Pink Floyd’s The Wall, delivering deep bass down to 35Hz and honest midrange with built-in amplification (40W bass, 20W treble) that few active speakers of the era matched.
The real upside here is rarity and pedigree: these are rare experimental hi-fi speakers with a cool factor that drives collector demand, yet you’re paying less than entry-level used market prices. Even if they need minor servicing (common with age), the price leaves room for restoration while still securing a piece of studio history. Unless the listing explicitly notes missing fronts or non-working drivers, this is a clear buying opportunity for an enthusiast who values sound and story over pristine condition.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Founded in Eindhoven, Netherlands, in 1891 by Gerard Philips, an engineer, and his father Frederik, a banker, Philips began as a modest light bulb manufacturer, quickly evolving into a global electronics powerhouse through relentless innovation. The brothers' early focus on quality incandescent lamps laid the groundwork for expansion into radios, televisions, and audio milestones like the 1963 compact cassette and the 1982 Compact Disc co-developed with Sony. This heritage of pioneering formats that reshaped home entertainment cements Philips as a cornerstone of 20th-century audio history.
Philips has long excelled in consumer audio categories, from vintage turntables and cassette decks to amplifiers, speakers, and complete hi-fi systems, often blending cutting-edge tech with practical design. Iconic products like the first CD player (CD-100) and early wireless Streamium systems highlight their prowess in optical media, portable recording, and integrated sound solutions, while forays into headphones and even acquiring Marantz underscored a broad portfolio.
Today, Philips occupies a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, prized by savvy buyers for reliable, value-driven performance rather than ultra-high-end exotica. No longer a full-spectrum electronics giant—having pivoted to health tech—its licensed audio branding delivers competent, innovation-rooted gear that's accessible yet evocative of golden-era nostalgia, appealing to both modern enthusiasts and vintage collectors.
