Angeboten wird „Concentro High-End Lautsprecher“ von Elac als Ausstellungsstück aus der Kategorie „Standlautsprecher“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 4102398051 endet am 03.09.2026 um 06:04 Uhr.
Is €29,900 a bargain for a used Elac Concentro, or is it simply ambitious? This asking price is dramatically inflated compared to the typical used market, sitting nearly four times higher than the median of €7,982 and well above the 75th percentile of €10,283. Recent comparable listings show the S507 model available for as little as €5,999, while the new M 807 flagship retails for €44,000; even if this is the ultra-rare top-tier Concentro, the price remains poor value relative to the established €6,232–€10,283 used range.
The Elac Concentro is a masterpiece of driver integration, renowned for its JET planar tweeter and AS-XR midrange drivers delivering exceptional clarity and dynamic range. However, at nearly €30k, this listing only becomes a worthwhile buy if it is the rare, flagship version with original-owner condition, pristine cosmetics, and a full suite of accessories like spikes and cables. Without explicit confirmation of this specific high-end variant and proof of flawless condition, the material risk of overpaying is too high for a fellow enthusiast.
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.
