In good working condition. Some cosmetic wear. No power cable included.
New units on this class of Sonance multichannel amp were priced much higher, so US$125 is well below the usual used market and lands as a strong buy. Against recent comparables, it sits under the US$126 25th percentile, with the median at US$169 and the 75th percentile at US$199, so this is bargain territory rather than merely fair.
That makes sense for a 12-channel install amp that’s valued for clean, dependable whole-house audio duty and flexible channel allocation. If it powers up cleanly and the seller can confirm all channels are working, this is a very attractive pickup; at this price, even a basic “tested” unit is worth a close look.
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.
