Angeboten wird „P3ESR 40th anniversary“ von Harbeth Acoustics als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Kompaktlautsprecher“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 8418332223 endet am 29.06.2026 um 18:42 Uhr.
This timing is good if you’re after the 40th Anniversary run rather than a current-production Harbeth, because the anniversary trim was a limited, cosmetically and electrically updated edition rather than a long-running standard model. At €1,795, this sits below the €1,865 25th percentile and well under the €1,886 median, so it reads as a strong deal in your own EUR comps.
That makes it especially attractive for the usual Harbeth strengths: natural midrange, easy tone, and a presentation that flatters voices and acoustic music without sounding clinical. If the listing is genuinely good condition and complete, the upside is straightforward: you’re getting a sought-after Harbeth at a discount to the going local used market. I’d mainly confirm the cosmetic state, driver health, and whether stands or original packaging are included if relevant, but the price itself is the headline.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Harbeth Audio Ltd. traces its origins to 1977, when BBC Research Department engineer H.D. (Dudley) Harwood founded the company in the UK upon his retirement. Harwood, a pioneer in loudspeaker cone materials, commercialized his inventions—including polypropylene cones developed during four decades of BBC-funded research—to produce monitor speakers that echoed the broadcaster's precision standards. This heritage, rooted in the BBC's comprehensive loudspeaker investigations from the 1960s and 1970s, positioned Harbeth as a direct descendant of iconic designs like the LS3/5a.
The brand focuses exclusively on high-fidelity loudspeakers, eschewing amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables. Harbeth's innovations center on proprietary materials and engineering, notably the patented RADIAL™ cone introduced in the 1990s, which minimizes distortion for exceptional clarity and natural reproduction. Standout models include the Super HL5 Plus, Monitor 30.1, and Monitor 40.2, all refined through ongoing refinements to critically damped cabinets, polymeric cones, and crossover networks.
Harbeth commands a revered position in the high-end hi-fi market as a niche boutique specialist, prized by discerning audiophiles for its balanced, transparent sound that prioritizes musicality over hype. Under Alan Shaw's leadership since 1986, blending BBC traditions with rigorous quality control, it sustains an irrefutable reputation for world-class performance at low-to-medium volumes, earning critical acclaim worldwide.
