Offered is „ME804K ME Geithain in Schleiflack weiss RAL9010“ by Musikelectronic Geithain as second-hand device from the category „Active Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1260889619 ends on 02.01.2027 at 14:03 o'clock.
The Musikelectronic Geithain ME804K, a premium active studio monitor from the early 2010s that originally retailed new for around €15,000 per pair, is listed at EUR 10,500 in good condition. That's ambitious against the typical used market, where recent comparable listings median at EUR 8,653, with a 25th-75th percentile range of EUR 5,296 to EUR 9,578. You're paying a 20% premium over fair value—pass unless the cosmetics or provenance justify it.
Before biting, verify the age via serial numbers (these can hit 15+ years with driver fatigue) and insist on a full demo to check for common issues like woofer surround degradation or amp hiss in the high-end DSP. Confirm the set includes both original stands, power cables, and any calibration mic, as omissions slash resale.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Musikelectronic Geithain (ME Geithain) traces its roots to May 1960, when Joachim Kiesler and two watchmakers founded a production cooperative in Geithain, Germany, a small town southeast of Leipzig. The company survived East Germany's nationalization in 1972, operating as VEB Musikelectronic Geithain before Kiesler and colleagues successfully reclaimed private ownership in 1992 following reunification. This remarkable continuity through political upheaval distinguishes ME Geithain as one of the few Eastern German audio manufacturers to emerge intact from the Cold War era.
ME Geithain specializes exclusively in high-end loudspeakers and studio monitors, a focus refined since the early 1980s. The company is renowned for proprietary coaxial and bass cardioid driver technologies paired with active amplifier electronics, all designed and manufactured in-house. Landmark products include the legendary BR 25 loudspeaker, presented in 1984, and the RL 900 broadcast monitor, which became standard equipment across East German broadcasting institutions and prestigious venues including the Leipzig Gewandhaus and Berlin Schauspielhaus.
Today, ME Geithain occupies a respected niche in the high-end market, particularly among European mastering studios, professional broadcast facilities, and discerning audiophiles. The brand commands premium positioning justified by hand-crafted construction, German engineering, and over six decades of acoustic expertise. While relatively obscure outside professional and enthusiast circles, ME Geithain maintains a reputation as a reference-grade manufacturer where quality and performance command prices reflecting genuine artisanal production values rather than mass-market accessibility.
