Commercial Sonus Faber Concerto Home Bookshelf Loudspeakers Part of the Sonus Faber Home Series, the Sonus Faber Concerto Home follows the current trend of versatility in the modern home. Sonus faber has came up with a complete range of speakers to cater for the home audio and video buff. The Concerto Home series neatly bridges the gap for those upgrading from the Concertino series and aspiring to the Homage range. The Concerto Home speakers follow the tradition of the Italian manufacturer’s more illustrious offerings – solid walnut cabinetry, soft leather wrap and attention to detail, right d
Timing-wise, this is a mature, discontinued-era Sonus faber rather than a current-model play, so you’re buying on sound and condition rather than future support. At A$3,950, it sits well above the recent comparable-used median of A$2,696 and even above the A$3,316 75th percentile, so this is ambitious rather than a bargain.
That said, the line has a strong reputation for natural midrange tone, easy musicality, and a real furniture-grade finish that still appeals if you value classic Sonus faber voicing. If the cabinets are clean, the drivers are original, and any grilles or spikes are included, the appeal is in getting a well-regarded older speaker in presentable shape; at this price, I’d want clear evidence of careful ownership and no restoration needs.

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.
