US$750 is ambitious for a used Sonance DSP 8-130 MKII, sitting well above the median of US$499 and the 75th percentile of US$579 from recent comparable listings. This price exceeds the typical used market by roughly US$171 over the 75th percentile, making it a tough sell unless the unit is pristine or includes rare accessories.
That said, the Sonamp DSP 8-130 MKII is a respected 8-channel power amplifier delivering 130W x 8 at 8 ohms, prized in multi-room and custom audio setups for its robustness and clean drive. If this listing is from an original owner with verified low wear and includes all cables or a manual, the upside in reliability could justify stretching, but at US$750 with unknown condition, it’s not a clear bargain—wait for a drop closer to US$500 unless you’re certain of its quality.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Sonance is an American architectural audio brand founded in the early 1980s by Scott Struthers and Geoff Spencer in Southern California. The company emerged from a simple but powerful idea: that high‑fidelity sound should not compromise interior design. In 1982, Sonance introduced the world’s first in‑wall loudspeaker, effectively creating the architectural speaker category and establishing a legacy built on innovation and discretion.
Today, Sonance is best known for in‑wall and in‑ceiling loudspeakers, outdoor audio systems, and multi‑room audio solutions, rather than amplifiers, turntables, DACs, or headphones. Its product range includes residential and commercial speakers, volume controls, and related electronics designed to blend seamlessly into walls, ceilings, and outdoor environments. The brand’s “degrees of invisibility” philosophy emphasizes clean aesthetics, flexible installation, and consistent performance across diverse spaces, from luxury homes to commercial venues.
Sonance occupies a strong position in the mid‑to‑high‑end custom‑installation market, widely recognized and frequently awarded in architectural and outdoor audio. It is a go‑to choice for integrators, architects, and design‑conscious clients who prioritize both performance and visual subtlety, rather than visible hi‑fi hardware.
