Chario Audio Aviator Cielo Floorstanding Loudspeakers Hi, Selling my Chario Aviator Cielo. These are a 3 way floorstanders with an insanely well built cabinet. These are too close in sound to my Sonus Faber to keep both sets. They did really well in a fairly big room (8m x8m). Brochure for the Aviator Serie found at the link below. https://irp.cdn-website.com/868ed4fb/files/uploaded/AviatorCatalogue.pdf Now for my shipping rant… I don’t have the shipping boxes so it’s pick up only OR, if you’re not living in cashed up mining bogans country and you really want these, you will need
This is ambitious: at A$4,250, it sits far above your database’s 75th percentile of A$647 and even the median of A$460, so it’s not a typical used-market ask by a long shot. For a buyer, that only makes sense if this is a particularly high-end, unusually scarce example or includes something materially valuable beyond the speakers themselves.
That said, these are well-regarded floorstanders, and Chario’s house sound is usually about rich tone, easy musicality, and a convincing, full-bodied presentation rather than clinical bite. If the cabinets, drivers, and crossover are truly pristine and the pair comes with original packaging or accessories, there can be real appeal for the right system—but at this price I’d want proof of exceptional condition and provenance before treating it as a serious buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
