Angeboten wird „9008 a“ von MBL als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Transistor-Endverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9952900565 endet am 26.06.2026 um 07:04 Uhr.
At €13,800, this sits above the 75th percentile versus your recent comparable EUR listings, so it reads ambitious rather than fair for the market and would need something special to justify it. With a median at €12,053 and the upper quartile at €13,045, the ask is roughly a full step over the current high end of the local comp set.
That said, the 9008 is a serious piece: MBL’s signature controlled dispersion and big, effortless presentation are exactly why these speakers are chased on the used market. If the pair is truly good condition and complete, the upside is in avoiding the long wait and uncertainty that often comes with hunting rarer large-format speakers; but at this price, I’d want strong evidence of provenance, careful packing history, and any service or cosmetic details before moving quickly.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
MBL stands as a German high-end audio manufacturer founded in 1979 by three engineers—Meletzky, Beinecke, and Lehnhardt—whose initials form the company name. The brand emerged from Berlin with a singular vision: to create loudspeakers that distribute sound omnidirectionally in a 360-degree pattern, a radical departure from conventional speaker design. This breakthrough technology, called the Radialstrahler (radial emitter), debuted at the 1979 IFA Berlin trade fair and immediately captured the audio world's attention with its distinctive "rocket" shape and room-filling acoustic performance.
MBL's product portfolio centers on high-end loudspeakers and premium audio electronics, with the company maintaining complete in-house manufacturing of all components and speakers near Berlin. The brand has built its reputation on precision engineering combined with handcrafted assembly, ensuring meticulous quality control across its lineup. While loudspeakers remain the cornerstone of MBL's identity, the company has expanded into complementary electronics to serve discerning audiophiles seeking integrated solutions.
Positioned firmly in the luxury high-end segment, MBL commands respect among serious collectors and enthusiasts willing to invest substantially in audio excellence. The brand's nearly five-decade heritage, German manufacturing credentials, and pioneering omnidirectional speaker technology have established MBL as a globally recognized leader in high-fidelity audio. The company's commitment to in-house production and its role in shaping the modern high-end audio industry underscore its status as a premium, innovation-driven manufacturer rather than a mass-market player.
