Te koop aangeboden: een prachtig paar rosso fiorentino volterra luidsprekers (eerste serie) in de kleur black piano, inclusief beschermers. Italiaans high-end vakmanschap, bekend om hun muzikaliteit,
This is a seller’s market only in the sense that Volterra remains a desirable, relatively rare speaker; at €4,000, though, the buyer is not getting a bargain. Your comparable listings put the median at €3,118, with the upper quartile at €3,936, so this asking price is just above the typical high end and should be negotiated unless condition and completeness are exceptional.
The Volterra earns its reputation through beautiful build quality, unusually natural midrange and treble, excellent stereo imaging, and controlled, even bass rather than brute-force impact. It is a refined 2.5-way floorstander with Nomex drivers, silk-dome and ribbon treble, but its roughly 86–88 dB sensitivity and impedance dipping near 3 ohms make a capable amplifier advisable. Check cabinet and leather/finish condition, ribbon and dome operation, matching serials, spikes, jumpers and original packaging; at €4,000, complete accessories and near-mint condition are reasonable expectations.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Rosso Fiorentino, an Italian high-end loudspeaker manufacturer, was founded in 2006 by Francesco Rubenni, a Tuscan designer based in Florence. The brand draws its name from the Renaissance painter Rosso Fiorentino, reflecting Rubenni's admiration for the artist's iconoclastic spirit and the city's Renaissance heritage of blending art and scientific inquiry. Operating from Bisarno Castle near Florence, the company houses La Sala del Rosso, a world-class listening studio where live musician performances guide final designs, merging objective measurements with subjective musical evaluation.
The brand focuses exclusively on loudspeakers, offering ten models across four collections: Classic, Prestige, Reference, and Flagship. Ranging from $2,250 to $100,000 per pair, standout designs like the Pienza, Arno 40, Volterra, and top-tier Florentia emphasize horn-inspired dynamics fused with Italian refinement akin to Sonus Faber and English precision from brands like Spendor or B&W. This "house sound" prioritizes emotional musicality, graceful aesthetics, and sonic impact rooted in Florence's artistic legacy.
Rosso Fiorentino holds a niche boutique position in the high-end market, earning acclaim in Europe and Asia for its artisanal excellence, though its U.S. presence remains modestly growing. Reviewers praise its transducers as among the finest for conveying live music's essence, positioning the brand as a connoisseur's choice for those seeking emotionally stirring, beautifully crafted speakers that transcend conventional hi-fi.
