Angeboten wird „Orphean M5 horn with Wharfedale Pro Delta F18B (active with Hypex FA502) - pair“ von BD-Design als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Standlautsprecher“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 6031864444 endet am 07.08.2026 um 10:44 Uhr.
At €4,300, this is ambitious but still within the upper half of the pack: it sits above the €2,023 median and just under the €4,376 75th percentile from your comparable EUR listings, so it is not a bargain, but it is also not clearly overpriced by your own market data. For a specialized horn/active bass package, the asking price feels like a seller who knows there’s serious system-building value here.
What makes it interesting is the high-efficiency horn-plus-powered-sub style setup: these can deliver big scale, dynamics, and low-effort playback that conventional boxes struggle to match. If the Hypex module is healthy, the drivers are original, and the pair is complete, the upside is a ready-made, unusually capable system rather than a parts project. At this level, I’d mainly verify function, cosmetic condition, and whether all amp/cabling details are included.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Wharfedale traces its roots to 1932, when Gilbert Briggs, a music enthusiast and audio pioneer, crafted his first loudspeaker in the cellar of his home in Ilkley, Yorkshire, England. Named after the scenic Wharfedale valley along the River Wharfe, the company quickly gained traction among radio enthusiasts, winning early competitions and expanding to a factory near Bradford by 1933. Sold to the Rank Organisation in 1958, with Briggs managing until 1965, Wharfedale evolved from wartime subcontracting to postwar dominance in high-fidelity audio, blending British engineering heritage with relentless innovation.
The brand remains synonymous with loudspeakers, pioneering designs like the roll surround cone in the late 1950s, ceramic magnets in 1962, and the acoustic suspension system in the 1960s for deeper bass in compact cabinets. Iconic models such as the Linton, Denton, and enduring Diamond series—launched in 1981—define its core. While it briefly ventured into amplifiers, receivers, turntables, tuners, and even televisions or DVD players until 2008, Wharfedale now focuses exclusively on audio equipment under the International Audio Group.
Wharfedale occupies a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, celebrated for delivering exceptional value, musicality, and build quality that punches above its price point. Far from high-end esoterica or vintage collector bait, it appeals to discerning buyers seeking reliable, globally recognized performance without boutique premiums, its classics like the Diamonds remaining staples for generations of audiophiles.
