Philips mcd-708. 4-Ohm 80-watt. Ribbon tweeter technologie. Met 2-standaards.
At €55, this Philips MCD708 ribbon-regal speaker listing is a clear bargain compared to the obvious alternative of paying €109+ for similar used units on eBay, and it sits comfortably below our database median of €51 while matching the 25th percentile floor of €51. With the asking price actually aligning with the lower end of the recent EUR comparable range (€51–€60), you’re getting a well-loved classic at a genuine entry-point value rather than an ambitious ask.
The MCD708 is prized for its ribbon technology, delivering crisp, airy highs and tight 80W/4Ohm performance that still competes with modern small monitors. At this price, the upside is immediate: you’re buying into a rare, original-era Philips design that excels in vocal clarity and detail, with no material caveats needed for a clean, fair-priced listing of this caliber.
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.
