Nieuw bij ikkoophet bose freespace ds 40f loudspeaker verkoopprijs: €95 per stuk 2 voor €175 18 stuks op voorraad beschrijving - zeer nette staat - tweedehands - stroomkabel zelf aanschaffen
Timing matters here because this is an older commercial-install ceiling speaker rather than a current hi-fi model, but the design has held up well and there isn’t a clearly superior replacement that makes it obsolete overnight. At €95, it looks fair to good if that’s for a single working unit in decent cosmetic shape; for a pair, it would be a strong buy.
What makes it worthwhile is the usual Bose FreeSpace formula: an easy-to-drive 4.5" full-range install speaker with 70V/100V or 8 Ω flexibility, 125° coverage, and enough output for background music or paging in small-to-medium spaces. It’s best suited to efficient distributed sound, not deep bass, so the real value is in a clean, complete unit with the correct trim and intact transformer/settings.

Bose Corporation traces its roots to 1964, when MIT professor Amar Gopal Bose founded the company in Natick, Massachusetts, after growing disillusioned with the poor performance of a high-end stereo system he purchased as a graduate student. Driven by a passion for replicating the immersive qualities of live music through rigorous acoustic research, Bose launched the venture with initial contracts for the U.S. military and NASA, emphasizing innovative speaker designs that prioritized indirect, reverberant sound over direct radiation. This American heritage, rooted in psychoacoustics and engineering excellence, has defined the brand's pursuit of "Better Sound Through Research."
Bose excels in consumer and professional audio categories, renowned for its home audio systems, premium speakers like the iconic 901 Series, and pioneering noise-canceling headphones first prototyped in the 1980s for pilots. The lineup extends to vehicle sound systems, portable Bluetooth speakers, and professional installations, but steers clear of niche hi-fi components such as amplifiers, turntables, DACs, or cables, focusing instead on integrated, user-friendly solutions that blend advanced signal processing with spatial audio reproduction.
Positioned as a premium mid-tier powerhouse in the global market, Bose commands widespread appeal among discerning buyers seeking accessible high-performance audio without audiophile esoterica. Its reputation for innovation and reliability has built a loyal following, though purists occasionally critique its measured sound signature, cementing Bose as a dominant force in mainstream hi-fi rather than high-end boutique or vintage realms.
