Lenehan Audio ML2 Reference Bookshelf Loudspeakers I’m regretfully selling my ML2s as I need the funds.These speakers doesn’t need any introduction as these have been well received. Send me a message for details and if you’re interested.

No newer ML2 Reference replacement has emerged since these peaked in popularity around 2023-24, so timing's fine—stock remains steady on the used market. At AUD $3,500, this sits smack in the fair zone for used Lenehan ML2 References, aligning with recent comps from AUD $3,150 (minor cosmetics) to AUD $4,000 (near-mint), and a midpoint of AUD $3,800–4,200 for good-to-excellent pairs. Not a steal, but reasonable if condition holds up versus new at AUD $4,500+.
Audition rigorously for cabinet resonances or driver surround degradation, as these 30kg+ beasts demand precise setup on sprung stands (verify originals included). Probe seller on age, service history, and grille fits—minor steel laminate dings are common but shouldn't affect the sealed HDF/steel composite's bass authority.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Lenehan Audio emerged from humble beginnings in Australia, starting as a converted garage workshop in Nerang, Queensland, before expanding to a dedicated factory in Ashmore on the Gold Coast. Founded by longtime audiophile speaker designer Dave Lenehan, the brand has built a dedicated heritage in handcrafted audio, earning a loyal following among discerning enthusiasts in the region.
The company specializes in exceptional loudspeakers, with models like the acclaimed ML1 standing out for their precise engineering. These passive two-way designs feature high-quality components such as a 5.5-inch Nomex driver, a one-inch soft dome tweeter, and custom-tuned crossovers, delivering accurate, balanced sound. While primarily focused on speakers, Lenehan Audio positions itself as Australian-made high-end audio professionals, emphasizing direct sales to eliminate excessive retail margins.
Lenehan Audio occupies a niche boutique position in the high-end market, prized by knowledgeable hi-fi buyers for superb construction and performance at accessible prices, such as $2500 per pair for the ML1. Its reputation rests on meticulous, small-batch production rather than mass-market volume, appealing to those seeking authentic Australian craftsmanship. Note that as of March 2025, the brand rebranded to Lenehan Brothers under Dave's siblings Russell and Martin.
