Die Lautsprecher funktionieren einwandfrei.
At €370, this B&O Penta Lautsprecherpaar is ambitiously priced, sitting well above the median of €161 and the 75th percentile of €236 from your 29 recent EUR comparables; it’s not a bargain, but rather a premium ask for used condition. While the BeoLab Penta series (1986–2000) is highly regarded for its iconic steel design and built-in amplification, typical working pairs in decent condition usually land between €87 and €236, with immaculate examples occasionally reaching higher but rarely exceeding €300 in the current EUR market.
The upside here is rarity and original-owner appeal: these speakers deliver warm, room-filling sound with minimal setup thanks to their integrated amps, and the steel cabinets remain visually striking decades later. If this listing includes original cables, feet, and shows no speaker-foam degradation (a common age issue), the €370 price becomes more defensible for a collector seeking a pristine pair. Otherwise, at this level, a buyer should verify full functionality and condition before committing, as better-priced examples often exist in the €150–€220 range.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Bang & Olufsen (B&O) traces its origins to 1925 in Struer, Denmark, where engineers Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen launched their venture from the attic of the Olufsen family manor, Quistrup. Driven by a passion for radio innovation, they quickly disrupted the market with the Eliminator in 1926—a device enabling radios to run on mains power rather than cumbersome batteries. Early milestones included the sturdy 1929 '5 lamper' radio, the 1930 radiogramophone, and the iconic 1939 Beolit with its pioneering bakelite cabinet, establishing the 'Beo' naming tradition. Rebuilt post-World War II, B&O evolved from unorthodox pioneers blending technical prowess with aesthetic appeal into a global icon of Danish design heritage.
The brand specializes in high-end audio and home entertainment, renowned for sculptural speakers like the Beolab series, precision amplifiers, and integrated systems that prioritize sonic purity and visual elegance. Its portfolio extends to wireless headphones such as the Beoplay line, high-resolution DACs, turntables, televisions with adaptive sound, and bespoke accessories including premium cables. Every product reflects meticulous craftsmanship, fusing advanced acoustic engineering—such as adaptive beamforming and ice-power amplification—with materials like aluminum, leather, and fabric.
Positioned firmly in the luxury high-end market, B&O commands premium pricing among discerning audiophiles and design enthusiasts seeking timeless pieces that elevate living spaces. Far from mid-tier or vintage-only appeal, it thrives as a forward-thinking boutique leader, appealing to high-net-worth buyers who value sustainable, heirloom-quality hi-fi that marries reference-level sound with artistic form.
