Audio Physic Sitara in excellent condition. Cones and veneers are like new. Beautiful curved and time aligned cabinet design.Amazing stereo imaging and rhythm.Selling to make room.Pick up only.
This looks like a fair ask, and on the strong side if the condition is truly like new. A new Sitara 25 has sat around the A$6,000–A$6,500 mark in Australia once you translate current retail, while a clean used pair in good condition is more typically in the low-to-mid A$2,000s depending on finish and market. At A$1,050, this is well below normal used value and reads as a genuine bargain rather than an ambitious listing.
That’s especially appealing because Audio Physic speakers are prized for their speed, imaging, and airy, refined presentation, with the Sitara line being a very capable room-friendly floorstander. If the cabinets are spotless and the drivers, grilles, and original spikes/jumpers are all present, this is the kind of buy that punches far above the ask. Just make sure both speakers are matching and that there’s no hidden driver or crossover issue behind the “like_new” claim.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Audio Physic, a German loudspeaker specialist, was founded in 1985 in Brilon, Sauerland, by Joachim Gerhard and Willi Hegener (also referenced as Wilhelm Hegener). Dissatisfied with prevailing speaker designs, Gerhard modified units like the ProAc Tablette, leading to their debut Tempo bookshelf model and rapid acclaim. The 1989 Avanti flagship cemented their breakthrough, earning international praise in The Absolute Sound and establishing a signature style of compact, elegantly finished speakers with audiophile precision. Handcrafted in their Brilon facility to this day, the brand remains one of Germany's few remaining loudspeaker makers, sourcing locally for quality control.
The company focuses exclusively on high-end loudspeakers, eschewing amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables. Their portfolio spans bookshelf, floorstanding, and statement models, renowned for innovations like downward-firing bass drivers—a hallmark from the Avanti—and vibration-damping techniques via 3D printing. Developers like Gerhard, dubbed "the Magician," and current chief Manfred Diestertich prioritize detail retrieval, expansive soundstaging, and dynamic resolution.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Audio Physic commands respect among discerning audiophiles for "no loss of fine detail," blending living-room-friendly designs with reference-level performance. Over four decades, they've evolved from garage origins to global benchmarks in resolution and musicality, appealing to buyers seeking German engineering's obstinate pursuit of sonic truth.
