Offered is „AVI.FLAT.DUO Plattenbügler/Relaxer“ by AVI as new device from the category „Record flattener“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 4226695769 ends on 02.11.2026 at 06:03 o'clock.
This listing is a genuine bargain in today’s buyer-friendly market for high-end vinyl accessories. The €2,190 asking price for new condition is virtually identical to the €2,189 median from 19 recent EUR comparables, and sits well below the 75th percentile of €10,286, making it a fair-to-excellent deal rather than ambitious. In fact, it’s just €1 above the median—so fair pricing, but given the new condition and the fact that typical used prices dip as low as the 25th percentile at €348, this is a strong opportunity for a pristine unit at a realistic entry point.
The AFI Flat.DUO is highly regarded among serious vinyl collectors for its ability to simultaneously flatten and relax up to two records at once, using gentle heat (52°C) to restore planarity and reduce warps that degrade sound and wear styluses. Its dual-channel design, 2-year warranty, and proven track record with both 12” LPs and even 78rpm shellac make it a rare, purpose-built tool. At this price, in new condition, it’s a smart buy for anyone investing in premium analog playback and wants to protect their abtaster and maximize fidelity.

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.
