Offered is „WS 1665 Wandlautsprecher, weiss, Paar“ by Elac as new device from the category „Compact Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5420031845 ends on 27.12.2026 at 06:09 o'clock.
Elac’s wall-mount speaker line has a good reputation for tidy integration and lively, room-friendly sound, and this listing lands right where the used market says it should. At €1,698, it is essentially bang on the €1,685 median for recent comparables, so I’d call it fair rather than cheap or ambitious.
That makes it a sensible buy if the pair is clean and complete, especially if they’re genuinely well-kept and include the original hardware. The appeal here is less about discount and more about getting a respected, hard-to-find Elac set in white, which can be a nice fit for a finished room where appearance matters as much as performance. If condition is excellent, this is an easy shortlist item.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Elac, a cornerstone of German audio engineering, traces its origins to September 1, 1926, when Electroacustic GmbH was founded in Kiel by Dr. Heinrich Hecht, Dr. Wilhelm Rudolph, and Gerhard Schmidt. Initially focused on sonar technology and underwater acoustics for maritime applications, the company peaked at 5,000 employees during World War II, supplying the Kriegsmarine. Postwar restrictions pivoted it toward consumer goods like sewing machines and radios, while distributing brands such as Sony, Fisher, and Nakamichi in Germany. By 1978, it divested its nautical division to concentrate on hi-fi, with Austrian CEO Wolfgang John taking the helm in 1981 to steer its modern trajectory.
Elac excels primarily in loudspeakers, renowned for innovations like the 1985 4Pi omnidirectional tweeter and the JET folded-ribbon tweeter, which deliver exceptional dispersion and clarity. Its portfolio spans high-end floorstanders, bookshelves, and compact systems across series like Vela, Solano, and Debut, alongside turntables such as the Miracord lineup, subwoofers, and electronics including amplifiers and DACs. This broad yet speaker-centric range caters to discerning setups from entry-level to reference-grade.
Positioned as a high-end mainstay with mid-tier accessibility, Elac commands respect among audiophiles for its precise German engineering, balancing value and performance without chasing boutique exclusivity. Under John's enduring leadership, it sustains a reputation for dynamic, transparent sound that rivals elite competitors, appealing to knowledgeable buyers seeking timeless quality over fleeting trends.
