Angeboten wird „Latour Field Coil Speakers - Latest Version“ von Shindo Laboratory als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Standlautsprecher“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 3408939259 endet am 28.08.2026 um 06:31 Uhr.
Shindo’s floorstanders sit in the “specialist, hard-to-find, and usually pricey” tier, and at €49,500 this one is clearly above the current used market anchor: it’s well over the €42,028 75th percentile, so I’d call it ambitious rather than a bargain. That said, for a genuinely sought-after Shindo piece, the premium isn’t outrageous if the provenance and presentation are excellent.
The upside here is the usual Shindo appeal: a rich, naturally scaled presentation with big tonal color, effortless dynamics, and that lifelike midrange fans chase. If the cabinets, drivers, and finish are truly good, and you’re getting a clean, well-kept example, that matters a lot on a high-end speaker this rare. I’d just want strong confirmation on originality, service history, and any shipping/packaging details before paying top money.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Shindo Laboratory is a Japanese audio equipment manufacturer founded in 1977 by Ken Shindo in Tokyo. Shindo began his career as an electrical engineer at Matsushita (later Panasonic), designing audio circuits before establishing his independent operation. The company remains family-owned and operates as a boutique manufacturer, with production centered at Shindo's home workshop supported by a small team of employees.
The brand specializes exclusively in hand-built tube amplifiers and preamplifiers, constructed from carefully selected new old stock (NOS) and vintage components. Shindo's approach prioritizes sonic character over conventional engineering standards; he personally auditions tubes and components, stockpiling those that meet his refined listening criteria. Each model is built to order, making every piece a limited edition. The amplifiers and preamplifiers carry names derived from French and Italian wines—a personal preference of Shindo's rather than a marketing strategy—with notable models including the Pétrus preamplifier, Haut Brion amplifier, and Giscours preamplifier.
Shindo occupies a rarefied position in high-end audio as a niche, ultra-boutique manufacturer commanding a devoted international following. The brand remains relatively unknown in many markets but is highly sought after by discerning collectors and audiophiles worldwide. Products are characterized by their handcrafted nature, limited availability, and reputation for exceptional sound quality, positioning Shindo at the premium end of the tube amplifier market where exclusivity and sonic refinement command significant investment.
