Angeboten wird „M 40.2 + Skylan Stands“ von Harbeth Acoustics als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Lautsprecher, Kopfhörer“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 354222609 endet am 18.07.2026 um 13:42 Uhr.
At €9,500, this is firmly in serious used money territory, but for an M40.3-class Harbeth it reads fair to attractive rather than expensive, especially if the pair is genuinely clean and complete. New Harbeths in this size/positioning bracket have historically sat far higher, and recent used asking prices for top-end M40 variants in Europe can run into the €10,000+ zone, so this does not look like a stretch if the speakers are well cared for.
The appeal here is the core Harbeth thing: natural midrange, scale, and that easy, room-filling presentation that makes voices and acoustic instruments sound right. The big M40 format also gives real bass authority without sounding forced, so it’s a very credible full-range choice for a serious system. If the cabinets are tidy, drivers original, and grilles/spikes/packing included, this is the kind of listing that can be a very satisfying long-term buy rather than just a flip.

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.
