Sonus Faber CONCERTINO HOME Bookshelf Loudspeakers For sale are my pair of Sonus Faber Concertino Home speakers and stands. I bought these new in 2004 at Encel Stereo Richmond – I still have the receipts! These are very smooth sounding, beautiful speakers especially with their walnut and black leather finishes. The speakers have spent about half of their life packed away in their original packaging. The speaker, driver and stand condition is excellent. The black fabric on the grills has faded slightly to a dark brown, but really they look and sound better without the grills anyway. Inclu
This A$1,500 asking price is slightly ambitious but not unreasonable, sitting just above the 75th percentile of A$1,444 and well beyond the median of A$1,354 from our recent AUD comps, though it remains a touch below the original retail of roughly A$1,600 (based on the US$1,095 retail in result ). While not a bargain, the price reflects the excellent condition noted and the model’s enduring appeal in the current market.
The Concertino Home remains a highly regarded bookshelf speaker for its rich, detailed Italian tonality and compact size, making it a smart choice for smaller rooms or desktop setups where big sound is still desired. As a pre-owned unit in excellent condition, it offers meaningful upside over buying new at a discount, especially if it includes original stands or grilles—common with owner-listed pairs. No major caveats apply here; it’s a solid buy for someone who values sound quality and aesthetics without chasing the latest generation.

Sonus faber was founded in 1983 by Franco Serblin in Vicenza, Italy, emerging from a singular vision to create loudspeakers of superior musical quality using natural materials and refined design. The company's name, Latin for "handcrafted sound," encapsulates its foundational philosophy. Serblin's early work—including the iconic Snail prototype inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's sketches—established the brand's commitment to marrying acoustic performance with sculptural aesthetics. The company's Italian heritage remains central to its identity, with production continuing in Vicenza for over four decades.
Sonus faber specializes exclusively in loudspeakers, a focused approach that has defined its market position. The brand is renowned for handcrafted wooden cabinets, violin-inspired industrial design, and signature model lines including the Guarneri Homage, Amati, Stradivari, and Aida. Early designs featured Kevlar woofers and silk-dome tweeters, though solid-wood construction became the defining material signature. Each speaker is treated as a musical instrument rather than mere audio equipment, reflecting the company's artisanal manufacturing ethos.
Sonus faber occupies the premium high-end segment of the audio market, commanding respect among discerning audiophiles and collectors worldwide. The brand's reputation rests on uncompromising craftsmanship, luxury materials, and the integration of traditional Italian design principles with contemporary audio technology. Its positioning appeals to listeners who view speakers as both functional components and interior design statements—a niche that has sustained the company's prestige and premium pricing across its four-decade history.
