Wegens upgrade naar de qln one v7 een zeer fraaie set qln prestige one uitgevoerd in chique hoogglans. Accessoires: compleet (zonder stands) originele doos: ja garantie: ja inruil mogelijk: zeer beper
The Qln Prestige One is a revered Swedish stand-mount known for its direct, uncolored music reproduction and high-quality Kevlar drivers, making it a serious contender for discerning listeners. However, the €5,999 asking price is ambitious, sitting well above the median of €4,449 and exceeding the 75th percentile of €5,098 from your recent comparable listings. While the model’s new retail price historically ranged between €6,800 and €7,200, this used listing is roughly €1,000–€1,200 higher than the top of your current used market range, suggesting the seller is pricing near the lower end of new rather than offering a true used discount.
That premium is only justifiable if the speakers are in original-owner condition with pristine finishes, original stands, and full documentation, as the Prestige One’s rear-ported design and AirCirc tweeter demand careful handling. If the listing includes those extras and shows no cabinet wear or driver fatigue, it remains a worthwhile buy for those seeking a transparent, full-range bookshelf that avoids the typical midrange hump of many competitors. Without those specifics, though, the price feels stretched; at this level, a buyer should expect perfection or look for a listing closer to the €4,500 median to get genuine used value.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
QLN Acoustics, a Swedish hi-fi brand, was founded in 1977 by Nils Liljeroth and Lars Quicklund, with Mats Andersen joining in 1982 as a key designer. The company quickly gained traction in Europe, North America, and the Far East during the early 1980s, building a reputation for innovative loudspeakers that prioritize natural sound reproduction and precise soundstaging. After a challenging period from 2003 to 2012 under different ownership that produced less acclaimed products, Andersen repurchased the brand in 2013, reviving its original ethos with updated classics.
QLN focuses exclusively on high-quality loudspeakers, handcrafted in Sweden, rather than amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables. Signature models like the Prestige series (including the One, Five, and recent flagship Reference 9), Signature 3, Qubic 10, and Sonora floorstander feature distinctive truncated pyramid cabinets, time-aligned drivers, slanted baffles, and proprietary Qboard damping for minimal resonance and cabinet noise. These designs emphasize effortless musical flow and a "disappearing act" where the speakers vanish, leaving only the performance.
Positioned as a niche boutique in the high-end market, QLN commands cult status among discerning audiophiles for its timeless Scandinavian engineering and uncompromised fidelity. Revived models honor 1980s icons while incorporating decades of refinement, appealing to buyers seeking refined, musically engaging compact and floorstanding options that integrate seamlessly into modern homes.
