Sonus Faber Electa Amator III Bookshelf Loudspeakers I have never felt so sad for parting with any object before. When I bought them and listen to them in my space I said to myself I would never sell them. But then spend an insane amount of money on some other speakers and now I can't believe that I have come to this point.I have been ordered them new, in the optional Graphite finish with Black Marble base and stands, I think they look more elegant and modern in this finish and they match any space. That makes them incredibly rare!They are in IMMACULATE condition!You will not find newer, bette
Against the recent AUD comp set, A$12,000 is slightly above the median A$11,711 and just over the 75th percentile at A$12,190, so it reads as a fair-to-ambitious ask rather than a bargain. It is not wildly out of line, but there’s little obvious pricing upside unless the speakers are exceptionally clean or come with strong provenance.
That said, this is a well-regarded design with the kind of refinement Sonus faber buyers usually chase: a natural, polished midrange, excellent imaging, and enough scale to make small-ensemble and vocal music feel special. If the cabinets, drivers, and finish are original and pristine, and the sale includes stands, boxes, or other accessories, the premium becomes easier to justify.
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.
