Overview
The Italian made Chario Aviator Nobile takes it's name from the famed Italian airship commander Umberto Nobile, a pioneer of aviation and polar exploration.
A two-way bookshelf loudspeaker, Nobile combines a 38mm T38 soft-dome tweeter with a 160mm Rohacell® bass/midrange driver incorporating a NeFeB motor, arranged using Chario’s Reversed Vertical Alignment, with the woofer positioned above the tweeter. The tweeter’s waveguide is designed to provide coupling between the two transducers.
The T38 tweeter is capable of operating at a low frequencies, allowing a relatively low 1180Hz crossover point.
With a cabinet constructed from solid Italian walnut and HDF, in a beautiful curved cabinet, Nobile uses a down-firing Vented NRS low-frequency loading system, allowing the reflex output to be directed beneath the cabinet.

Against your used-market anchor, A$4,300 lands comfortably above the A$424 median and also above the A$3,529 75th percentile, so this is an ambitious ask rather than a bargain. It only starts to look reasonable if the pair and stands are exceptionally clean, boxed, and effectively as-new.
That said, the Nobile is a well-liked, genuinely capable speaker: lively dynamics, strong bass for a bookshelf, high sensitivity, and a refined, room-filling presentation. If condition is excellent, the stands are quality and included, and the finish has been carefully kept, the package has real appeal; but at this level I’d want immaculate cosmetics and complete provenance to justify it.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
