We have traded in a pair of the truly amazing Duevel Planets, these omni directional smaller floorstanding speakers are German made and have one owner since new and were purchased new from us.
A very unique speaker in terms of cosmetic design and by utilising the omni design they have an incredible way of presenting a true soundstage from multiple listening areas.
These are in great condition and sound as good as new.
No boxes were supplied and due to the nature of the design we would really prefer pick up only. No free shipping would apply to this sale.
Duevel Planets are the entry-level omni-directional floorstanders from this German specialist, beloved for their expansive 3D soundstage that fills rooms without a fixed sweet spot—fun for casual listening but not always precise for critical purists.
At AUD1,650, this sits ambitious against the used market, where similar pre-loved pairs typically trade in the AUD800–1,300 range based on recent global sales adjusted for our market. New ones hover around AUD2,000, so you'd want a pristine example to justify it. Before biting, verify the spheres' reflective surfaces for scratches or dents—these are key to dispersion and prone to kid-related mishaps—and check for both original grilles plus any spikes or port plugs, as missing bits ding resale. Test for port chuffing too; bottom-end control can loosen with age.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Duevel, a boutique German hi-fi brand, traces its origins to the 1990s in Bohmte, Lower Saxony, where spouses Markus and Annette Duevel founded the company out of frustration with conventional speaker designs. Drawing on decades of personal experimentation with direct-radiating and horn-loaded systems, they unveiled their first omnidirectional loudspeaker in 1997, marking a pivotal shift toward 360-degree sound dispersion. Handmade since 1998, Duevel embodies a family-driven passion for acoustic innovation rooted in real-world research.
The brand specializes exclusively in omnidirectional loudspeakers, leveraging unique horn technology to emulate a point-source ideal with exceptional frequency and phase response. Models range from the moderately priced Planets—compact 2-way towers ideal for smaller rooms—to larger, more imposing high-end towers like the Bella Luna, all featuring down-firing bass ports for immersive, room-filling sound. This focused portfolio avoids diversification into amplifiers, turntables, or other categories, prioritizing natural music reproduction over traditional directional drivers.
Positioned as a niche high-end contender, Duevel commands respect among omnidirectional enthusiasts for defying industry norms with efficient, spatially coherent speakers at accessible prices relative to bespoke German craftsmanship. While not a mainstream giant, its cult following praises the live-concert-like immersion, earning visibility in media like the TV series House. For discerning buyers seeking unconventional excellence, Duevel remains a hidden gem in the hi-fi landscape.
