Te koop aangeboden: een chario sw1 actieve subwoofer in uitstekende staat. Deze subwoofer levert een diepe en krachtige bas, perfect voor het aanvullen van uw home cinema of stereo-installatie. De beh
This looks like a fair ask rather than a bargain: at €245, it sits in the sensible zone for a compact Chario active sub of this type, but without clean recent sold comps in € it’s hard to call it a steal. Based on the model’s 100 W class amp, 200 mm driver, and home-cinema-friendly 40–180 Hz crossover range, it’s priced where a solid, older sub often lands if it’s working properly.
What makes it worth a look is the usual Chario upside: compact footprint, decent musical control, and enough output to flesh out a small-to-medium room or blend well with satellites. If the unit is quiet at idle, the amp plate is healthy, and the controls aren’t crackly, this is the kind of used sub that can still be a very satisfying buy. I’d favor it more if the seller can show original operation, grille, and no repair history.

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.
