Angeboten wird „Kudos Cardea Super 20A“ von Kudos Audio als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Standlautsprecher“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 7236078619 endet am 26.07.2026 um 12:25 Uhr.
This €2,700 asking price is a strong bargain for the Kudos Cardea Super 20A, sitting well below the typical used market range of roughly €3,500–€4,500 and far under the €5,500–€7,000 new retail price. You’re paying less than half of what these cost when new, which is an exceptional entry point into this highly regarded British two-way floorstanding.
The Super 20A is celebrated for its SEAS custom tweeter and paper-cone mid/bass driver, delivering smooth, detailed highs and a natural midrange with tight bass down to 30 Hz. Its 88 dB sensitivity and 8 ohm impedance make it easy to drive with most amplifiers, while the compact 92.5 cm height fits well in smaller rooms. At this price, even with good but not mint condition, it’s a clear buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking refined sound without the new-speaker cost.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Kudos Audio traces its roots to the late 1980s in England, when founders Derek Gilligan and Bob Surgeoner—previously of Neat Acoustics—acquired a company renowned for its innovative loudspeaker stands, particularly those paired with the Neat Petite. After their partnership ended, Gilligan retained the Kudos brand and launched its first speakers, the original Cardea models, in 2006. Hand-built in England by Gilligan, who has decades of experience in high-end loudspeaker design and live sound engineering, the brand embodies a heritage of meticulous craftsmanship and bold innovation.
The company focuses exclusively on high-performance loudspeakers, eschewing amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables. Kudos designs emphasize simplicity and precision, often incorporating unique bespoke components from European suppliers and unconventional elements like passive external crossovers. Every model, from the Titan series to the flagship Cardea, is engineered holistically for exceptional musicality and emotional impact.
Positioned as a niche boutique in the high-end market, Kudos Audio enjoys a growing reputation among discerning audiophiles for its rule-breaking approach and one-of-a-kind sound. Fast-rising in the UK hi-fi scene, it appeals to buyers seeking authentic, handcrafted originals that deliver profound listening experiences beyond conventional norms.
