Offered is „Codex 2 glass black“ by Audio Physic as second-hand device from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 6061328201 ends on 17.11.2026 at 08:18 o'clock.
This €7,300 asking price for the Audio Physic Codex 2 glass black is ambitious, sitting just above the 75th percentile (€7,249) of 46 recent EUR comparable listings, though it remains well below the original glass-finish new price of roughly €14,300–€15,800 per pair. While not a bargain, the price reflects strong retention for a top-tier German loudspeaker that still commands fresh-market values near €14,990–€15,000 per pair for the glass variant.
The Codex 2 is a revered 4-way floorstanding speaker known for its HHTC-III tweeter, wide 28 Hz–40 kHz bandwidth, and exceptional clarity from its aluminum/membrane drive units. Its 44 kg glass version offers a premium build and sonic precision that justifies interest even at this level, especially if the unit is in original-owner condition with intact accessories. At €7,300, it’s a legitimate opportunity for buyers seeking high-end performance without paying full new-market prices, assuming no hidden wear or missing components.

Audio Physic, a German loudspeaker specialist, was founded in 1985 in Brilon, Sauerland, by Joachim Gerhard and Willi Hegener (also referenced as Wilhelm Hegener). Dissatisfied with prevailing speaker designs, Gerhard modified units like the ProAc Tablette, leading to their debut Tempo bookshelf model and rapid acclaim. The 1989 Avanti flagship cemented their breakthrough, earning international praise in The Absolute Sound and establishing a signature style of compact, elegantly finished speakers with audiophile precision. Handcrafted in their Brilon facility to this day, the brand remains one of Germany's few remaining loudspeaker makers, sourcing locally for quality control.
The company focuses exclusively on high-end loudspeakers, eschewing amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables. Their portfolio spans bookshelf, floorstanding, and statement models, renowned for innovations like downward-firing bass drivers—a hallmark from the Avanti—and vibration-damping techniques via 3D printing. Developers like Gerhard, dubbed "the Magician," and current chief Manfred Diestertich prioritize detail retrieval, expansive soundstaging, and dynamic resolution.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Audio Physic commands respect among discerning audiophiles for "no loss of fine detail," blending living-room-friendly designs with reference-level performance. Over four decades, they've evolved from garage origins to global benchmarks in resolution and musicality, appealing to buyers seeking German engineering's obstinate pursuit of sonic truth.
