Compared with chasing newer vintage speakers at this money, kr10,000 looks like a strong buy for an OA116: it sits below the kr11,554 25th percentile and well under the kr13,098 median, so this is priced like a bargain rather than a merely fair listing. It also leaves room for any needed refresh without pushing the total into the typical market band.
The OA116 is well loved for its easy-going, musical balance and big-room presentation, with a character that suits long listening better than flashy spec-sheet shopping. If the cabinets and drivers are original and healthy, this is the kind of classic Swedish speaker that rewards a careful owner; at this price, the main thing to verify is simple condition rather than expecting a hidden catch.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Sonab is a Swedish hi-fi name that dates to the 1960s, with its best-known early products tied to designer Stig Carlsson and the “Carlsson” loudspeaker lineage. One source says the company was introduced on the market in 1966 as Sonab AB, and later histories describe it as a state-backed Swedish manufacturer associated with Carlsson’s loudspeaker concepts.
The brand is most closely linked to speakers, especially omnidirectional models such as the OA series, and it is also described in vintage-retail and enthusiast sources as having made amplifiers and turntables. There is much less evidence that Sonab was a major player in modern categories like DACs, headphones, or cables, so its identity is really anchored in classic loudspeaker design rather than a broad contemporary audio lineup.
In market terms, Sonab is best understood today as a vintage-collector and cult-hi-fi brand rather than a current high-end mainstream manufacturer. Its reputation rests on distinctive Scandinavian industrial design, historically important speaker engineering, and strong appeal among enthusiasts who value restored classics and unusual omni-directional systems.
