Philips 22RH497 Vintage Loudspeakers

Made in Holland

A beautifully preserved pair of classic Dutch loudspeakers from Philips' golden era of hi-fi engineering.

The Philips 22RH497 represents Philips' commitment to high-fidelity sound reproduction during the 1970s, combining sophisticated acoustic design with exceptional build quality. Manufactured in Holland and positioned among the company's premium loudspeaker offerings, these speakers deliver the warm, natural and effortless presentation that has made vintage European hi-fi so sought after by collectors and music enthusiasts alike.

Featuring an original 3-way driver configuration, the 22RH497 provides impressive bass depth, articulate midrange performance and smooth high-frequency extension. The result is a balanced and engaging listening experience that excels with everything from jazz and classical recordings to rock, folk and contemporary music.

This pair retains its original Philips drivers and factory crossover networks, preserving the authentic voicing and character intended by the original designers. The front baffle cloth has been professionally reupholstered, giving the speakers a refreshed appearance while maintaining their vintage charm.

Whether paired with a classic receiver, valve amplifier or modern integrated amplifier, the 22RH497 offers the unmistakable sound and craftsmanship of vintage Dutch hi-fi at its finest.

Condition

The front baffle material has been professionally reupholstered, providing a fresh, clean appearance while complementing the speakers' original character.
