Angeboten wird „P3ESR XD2 - neu“ von Harbeth Acoustics als Neugerät aus der Kategorie „Kompaktlautsprecher“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 7774855100 endet am 04.08.2026 um 20:02 Uhr.
This is a buyer’s market for this model at this asking price: €2,400 lands just above the €2,398 median of recent comparable listings and comfortably inside the normal spread, between the €2,158 and €2,819 percentiles. That makes it fairly priced, not a bargain, and not aggressive.
The appeal is easy to understand: this speaker is widely respected for its coherent midrange, natural timbre, and strong nearfield imaging, which is exactly why it holds value so well. If the pair is clean and genuinely in the stated condition, it’s a sensible buy for someone who wants a compact, high-quality monitor rather than chasing spec-sheet fireworks. At this price, the main upside is buying into a proven classic without paying a premium; I’d only press on cabinet, driver, and grille condition if anything looks off.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Harbeth Audio Ltd. traces its origins to 1977, when BBC Research Department engineer H.D. (Dudley) Harwood founded the company in the UK upon his retirement. Harwood, a pioneer in loudspeaker cone materials, commercialized his inventions—including polypropylene cones developed during four decades of BBC-funded research—to produce monitor speakers that echoed the broadcaster's precision standards. This heritage, rooted in the BBC's comprehensive loudspeaker investigations from the 1960s and 1970s, positioned Harbeth as a direct descendant of iconic designs like the LS3/5a.
The brand focuses exclusively on high-fidelity loudspeakers, eschewing amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables. Harbeth's innovations center on proprietary materials and engineering, notably the patented RADIAL™ cone introduced in the 1990s, which minimizes distortion for exceptional clarity and natural reproduction. Standout models include the Super HL5 Plus, Monitor 30.1, and Monitor 40.2, all refined through ongoing refinements to critically damped cabinets, polymeric cones, and crossover networks.
Harbeth commands a revered position in the high-end hi-fi market as a niche boutique specialist, prized by discerning audiophiles for its balanced, transparent sound that prioritizes musicality over hype. Under Alan Shaw's leadership since 1986, blending BBC traditions with rigorous quality control, it sustains an irrefutable reputation for world-class performance at low-to-medium volumes, earning critical acclaim worldwide.
