Hallo,
ich verkaufe meine beiden Chario Academy 1 Lautsprecher mit der Seriennummer 7 und 8.
Beid funktionieren hervorragend und sind klanglich überragend.
Ich gebe ebenso meine beiden sehr hochwertigen LS Kabel gratis dazu. ...ca. 2 x 3,0m
Am liebsten wäre mir eine Abholung. Bezahlung bar oder per PayPal Freunde. Der Verkauf erfolgt unter Ausschluss jeglicher Gewährleistung.
€490 is a strong buy for these if the cabinets and drivers are genuinely excellent, because the Academy 1 launched at a serious mid-fi price and is still a well-regarded Italian standmount with real musical pedigree. A clean pair at this level is comfortably below what a good used example usually needs to justify, so this reads more like a bargain than a merely fair ask.
What makes it worthwhile is the Chario voicing: dense, natural mids, good tone color, and a presentation that tends to sound bigger and more authoritative than the size suggests. They’re also not a throwaway budget speaker, so original drivers and tidy cosmetics matter; if the listing includes grilles and the ports/woofer surrounds are intact, that’s a meaningful plus. They do want a sympathetic amp and placement, but at this price that’s part of the fun, not a red flag.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Founded in Milan, Italy, in 1975, Chario traces its origins to two University of Milan research engineers, Carlo "CHArlie" Vicenzetto and MaRIO Murace, whose names inspired the brand. Driven by psychoacoustic studies on human hearing and body shape influences, they pioneered innovations like circular magnet arrays to optimize voice coil magnetic fields. From the outset, Chario committed to Italian craftsmanship, hand-building every component in-house—a rarity that persists over five decades.
Chario specializes exclusively in high-fidelity loudspeakers, eschewing amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables. Their lineup features solid walnut cabinets meticulously shaped by master woodworkers, paired with bespoke Italian-made drivers designed for uncolored, transparent sound reproduction. Models span standmounts to floorstanders across series like Academy, emphasizing music-first purity over gimmicks.
Positioned as a niche boutique high-end marque, Chario enjoys a cult reputation among discerning audiophiles for its artisanal integrity and sonic honesty, predating peers like Sonus Faber in solid-wood construction and research-driven design. Handcrafted in small batches, their speakers deliver reference-level coherence at prices from mid-tier accessibility to flagship indulgence, appealing to buyers seeking authentic Italian heritage without mass-market compromise.
