Angeboten wird „Super HL5 Plus“ von Harbeth Acoustics als Ausstellungsstück aus der Kategorie „Kompaktlautsprecher“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9523541645 endet am 13.07.2026 um 19:04 Uhr.
The €3,990 asking price for this Harbeth Super HL5 Plus sits just below the 75th percentile of €4,093 from your ground-truth data, making it a fair but slightly ambitious deal rather than a bargain. It is not cheap enough to be a strong deal, but it aligns well with the upper end of typical used pricing, reflecting the speaker’s enduring reputation.
This is a worthwhile buy because the Super HL5 Plus remains one of Harbeth’s most award-winning standmounts, delivering a huge soundstage with exceptional width, depth, and weight. Its 3-way vented design and Radial2 bass/mid driver produce punchy, physical low-end that few competitors match, while its 86dB sensitivity ensures easy driveability. For a clean, original-owner listing in good condition, this represents a solid opportunity to own a timeless, multi-award-winning speaker at a realistic market price.

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.
