Offered is „2,6 Monitor“ by Valeur Audio 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 777297919 ends on 24.12.2026 at 06:24 o'clock.
Against your €991 median benchmark, €1,580 lands above the middle of the market but still comfortably below the €3,000 75th percentile, so this reads as a reasonable but not cheap ask rather than a bargain. For a Monitor Audio speaker, that’s the kind of price I’d call fair if the pair is complete, clean, and fully working; I wouldn’t push back on it, but I also wouldn’t expect hidden-room deal territory.
The appeal here is straightforward: Monitor Audio is usually bought for clean detail, controlled bass, and easy placement, so a well-kept example can be a very satisfying listen in a normal room. If the listing really is in good condition, the upside is mainly in avoiding the usual used-speaker hassles: check driver cosmetics, matching serials, and whether stands, grilles, or boxes are included, because those details matter more than with a lot of other models.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Monitor Audio, a British hi-fi mainstay, traces its origins to 1972 when founder Mo Iqbal established the company in a modest factory near Cambridge, England. Starting with hands-on loudspeaker assembly in a garage-like setting, it quickly professionalized, moving to Rayleigh, Essex, in 1976 for in-house manufacturing. This heritage of meticulous British engineering has endured through expansions, including a 2004 shift of production to China while retaining design leadership in Essex, alongside strategic acquisitions like Roksan in 2016 and Blok in 2019.
The brand excels in loudspeakers across diverse categories, from high-fidelity two-channel stereo models to advanced home cinema systems, architectural installations, outdoor speakers, and lifestyle solutions. Signature innovations like the patented C-CAM Gold Dome tweeters, introduced in the 1980s and continually refined, define its sound. Complementing these are amplifiers, streamers, and integrated audio systems, reflecting a broad portfolio that prioritizes proprietary driver technologies and precise enclosure design over peripheral gear like turntables or headphones.
Positioned as a mid-to-high-end powerhouse, Monitor Audio commands respect for delivering audiophile-grade performance at accessible price points, blending relentless innovation with timeless British craftsmanship. Over five decades, it has solidified its status as a global juggernaut, appealing to discerning buyers seeking refined, dynamic sound without boutique exclusivity or vintage nostalgia.
