Angeboten wird „Ktema“ von Franco Serblin als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Lautsprecher, Kopfhörer“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9843471272 endet am 30.06.2026 um 08:52 Uhr.
Franco Serblin’s Ktema sits in the serious high-end camp, with a reputation for sophisticated, musical sound rather than brute-force hi-fi theatrics. At €14,000, this listing is well above the recent comparable market: the median is €9,564, the 75th percentile is €10,726, and this ask clears that by a wide margin, so it reads as ambitious, not fair.
What keeps it interesting is that a clean, good-condition Ktema can still be a compelling buy for someone chasing the Franco Serblin house sound and willing to pay for rarity and presentation. If the finish is tidy, the drivers are original, and the pair has been cared for properly, the upside is in getting a standout design that can be hard to find in strong cosmetic shape. I’d still want full provenance and a careful check of condition at this level.
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.
