Franco Serblin Accordo Bookshelf Loudspeakers Would much prefer local pick up but I can courier which is extra. Price is firm. Purchased new on 15 November 2021, these are stunning bookshelf speakers and my equal favourite speaker of all time. This is actually the second pair I've owned and sadly, these too, need to find a new home. They are in beautiful condition as the photographs show. The chome stands starting flaking and pitting not long after I bought them - a common problem with this speaker. I had the option to have them replaced under warranty but decided to have them profession
This is a strong deal: at A$8,700, it sits well below the A$15,012 25th percentile and far under the A$15,671 median for recent comparable AUD listings. Even allowing for the higher end of the range at A$17,574, the ask leaves plenty of room, so it reads as a bargain rather than a merely fair price.
That makes it attractive because this line is widely respected for a refined, human midrange, excellent imaging, and a natural, easy presentation that rewards careful system matching. If the pair is clean and complete, the upside is real; at this level I’d focus on cosmetic condition, driver originality, and whether stands, grilles, or packaging are included, since those can matter for resale and transport.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Franco Serblin, the Italian audio visionary renowned for founding Sonus Faber in 1983, launched his eponymous brand in 2006 after selling the former company. A master designer and engineer—originally a dental technician with a passion for music and instruments—Serblin devoted his career (1939–2013) to crafting loudspeakers that fused sonic excellence with aesthetic harmony, drawing from Italy's tradition of refined craftsmanship.
The brand focuses exclusively on high-end loudspeakers, emphasizing floorstanders like the Ktema for its rich, dynamic clarity and bookshelves such as the Accordo for compact precision. Premium materials—wood, leather, metal—underpin meticulous construction, prioritizing natural sound reproduction over broader categories like amplifiers or electronics.
Positioned as a niche boutique in the ultra-high-end market, Franco Serblin commands reverence among discerning audiophiles for its artisanal purity and emotional fidelity. Products embody Serblin's philosophy of beauty in both sound and form, attracting collectors who seek transcendent listening experiences beyond mass-market offerings.
