I’m selling my Sonus Faber Electa Amator III.These have been my end game speakers until my other end game came along (you know the drill…). Seriously, these are end game for any sane person. They image like crazy and cater for pretty much all style of music. And they are a beautiful pair of speak...
Compared with the obvious alternative at this level — a pair of competent modern bookshelf speakers — A$10,000 sits right on the median of the recent AUD comps and below the A$10,469 75th percentile, so this reads as fair market rather than a bargain or an ambitious ask. It is not cheap, but it is also not out of line for a known, premium Italian monitor in like-new condition.
That makes it a sensible buy if you want a speaker with real musical credibility: Sonus faber’s Electa Amator line is prized for its natural midrange, smooth treble, and speaker-like imaging that makes small-to-medium rooms feel more intimate and coherent. In like-new shape, the upside is mainly condition confidence and low immediate hassle; if the originals, stands, and packaging are included, that strengthens the value further.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Sonus faber was founded in 1983 by Franco Serblin in Vicenza, Italy, emerging from a singular vision to create loudspeakers of superior musical quality using natural materials and refined design. The company's name, Latin for "handcrafted sound," encapsulates its foundational philosophy. Serblin's early work—including the iconic Snail prototype inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's sketches—established the brand's commitment to marrying acoustic performance with sculptural aesthetics. The company's Italian heritage remains central to its identity, with production continuing in Vicenza for over four decades.
Sonus faber specializes exclusively in loudspeakers, a focused approach that has defined its market position. The brand is renowned for handcrafted wooden cabinets, violin-inspired industrial design, and signature model lines including the Guarneri Homage, Amati, Stradivari, and Aida. Early designs featured Kevlar woofers and silk-dome tweeters, though solid-wood construction became the defining material signature. Each speaker is treated as a musical instrument rather than mere audio equipment, reflecting the company's artisanal manufacturing ethos.
Sonus faber occupies the premium high-end segment of the audio market, commanding respect among discerning audiophiles and collectors worldwide. The brand's reputation rests on uncompromising craftsmanship, luxury materials, and the integration of traditional Italian design principles with contemporary audio technology. Its positioning appeals to listeners who view speakers as both functional components and interior design statements—a niche that has sustained the company's prestige and premium pricing across its four-decade history.
