This is a fair ask, sitting a touch above the £127 median and just over the £150 75th percentile edge, so it’s not a bargain but it isn’t out of line either. At £150, it’s priced about right for a clean example, though I’d want that to be reflected in a tidy, working unit with no surprises.
The SONAMP 1230 is a sensible multi-channel amp for whole-house or custom-install use: lots of channels, solid power for the class, and a reputation for being dependable rather than flashy. If it’s genuinely well kept and complete, that adds to the value; if condition is unknown, the main check is simply that all channels fire cleanly and there’s no evidence of noisy gain stages, rack rash, or past overheating.
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.
