Set van 2 speakers. Nog in doos. Nooit gebruikt. The philips f9416 is a vintage three-way floor-standing loudspeaker manufactured by philips between 1982 and 1984, originally priced at approximately 6
These Philips date from the late-1970s/early-1980s era, so timing matters mainly because any buy is now about condition and originality rather than chasing a newer replacement model. At €200, the asking price looks fair to slightly attractive for a clean pair if the drivers are original and both cabinets are intact; I would not call it a bargain without stronger proof of condition, but it is not an ambitious ask for this vintage tier.
They’re worth considering because Philips’ F94xx speakers have a reputation for solid build, smooth presentation, and the kind of easygoing, listenable balance that still makes sense on vintage systems. The real upside is finding a complete, unmodified pair with good grills and no foam/suspension issues; at this age, that matters more than cosmetics. If the seller can confirm working drivers, original parts, and no repair history, €200 is a sensible buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Founded in Eindhoven, Netherlands, in 1891 by Gerard Philips, an engineer, and his father Frederik, a banker, Philips began as a modest light bulb manufacturer, quickly evolving into a global electronics powerhouse through relentless innovation. The brothers' early focus on quality incandescent lamps laid the groundwork for expansion into radios, televisions, and audio milestones like the 1963 compact cassette and the 1982 Compact Disc co-developed with Sony. This heritage of pioneering formats that reshaped home entertainment cements Philips as a cornerstone of 20th-century audio history.
Philips has long excelled in consumer audio categories, from vintage turntables and cassette decks to amplifiers, speakers, and complete hi-fi systems, often blending cutting-edge tech with practical design. Iconic products like the first CD player (CD-100) and early wireless Streamium systems highlight their prowess in optical media, portable recording, and integrated sound solutions, while forays into headphones and even acquiring Marantz underscored a broad portfolio.
Today, Philips occupies a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, prized by savvy buyers for reliable, value-driven performance rather than ultra-high-end exotica. No longer a full-spectrum electronics giant—having pivoted to health tech—its licensed audio branding delivers competent, innovation-rooted gear that's accessible yet evocative of golden-era nostalgia, appealing to both modern enthusiasts and vintage collectors.
