Our Thoughts RADAR AI

This is a buyer’s market for big, older powered subs like this, and €399 looks fair rather than flashy. For a solid German-made unit of this size and spec, that’s roughly in the middle of what serious used buyers tend to pay when it’s complete and working well; I wouldn’t call it cheap, but it’s not ambitious either.

What makes it attractive is the scale: dual 260 mm drivers, sealed cabinet behavior, and real adjustability for integration with stereo or home-theater systems. T+A gear is typically well-built, and these can still be very satisfying if the amp plate, auto-on, and controls are healthy. At this age, the key checks are functionality, any bass amp noise/hum, and whether it’s been stored dry; if it’s clean and fully working, it’s a respectable buy.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About T+A

T+A, a pinnacle of German hi-fi engineering, traces its roots to 1978 when physicist Siegfried Amft founded the company in Herford, northwest Germany. Standing for "Theorie und Anwendung in der Elektroakustik" (Theory and Application in Electroacoustics), it began with a bold vision: crafting exceptional audio products despite limited resources. Amft's early focus on loudspeakers evolved rapidly into electronics, establishing T+A as a family-run enterprise driven by scientific curiosity and relentless innovation.

The brand excels across a broad spectrum of high-end categories, from meticulously engineered amplifiers and cutting-edge music players to top-tier separates, compact Hi-Fi systems, and all-in-one solutions. Its loudspeakers, both passive and active, remain a cornerstone, complemented by pioneering digital components like the world's first DSD 1024-capable player. This comprehensive range spans analog and digital domains, catering to audiophiles seeking uncompromising performance.

Positioned firmly in the high-end market, T+A commands respect as Germany's market leader and one of the world's most influential hi-fi marques. Renowned for pushing technological boundaries—through ties to elite technical universities and in-house R&D—it delivers products that blend engineering precision with emotional musicality, appealing to discerning buyers who demand the ultimate in fidelity.
