At A$170, this Sonance Sonamp 260 sits just under the 75th percentile (A$171) of recent AUD listings, making it a fair price for a well-regarded, high-current power amp that drives difficult speakers without breaking a sweat. It’s not a bargain by the database’s median (A$127), but it’s not ambitious either—especially if the unit is in clean, original-owner condition.
The Sonamp 260 is celebrated for its 60W/ch output, 2Ω stability, and use as a sub amp or main power amp in demanding setups. Its reputation for raw drive and reliability makes it a smart buy for enthusiasts who value performance over flash. If this listing includes cables or shows no signs of the capacitor/solder issues seen in some service cases, it’s a solid opportunity at a fair price.

Sonance is an American architectural audio brand founded in the early 1980s by Scott Struthers and Geoff Spencer in Southern California. The company emerged from a simple but powerful idea: that high‑fidelity sound should not compromise interior design. In 1982, Sonance introduced the world’s first in‑wall loudspeaker, effectively creating the architectural speaker category and establishing a legacy built on innovation and discretion.
Today, Sonance is best known for in‑wall and in‑ceiling loudspeakers, outdoor audio systems, and multi‑room audio solutions, rather than amplifiers, turntables, DACs, or headphones. Its product range includes residential and commercial speakers, volume controls, and related electronics designed to blend seamlessly into walls, ceilings, and outdoor environments. The brand’s “degrees of invisibility” philosophy emphasizes clean aesthetics, flexible installation, and consistent performance across diverse spaces, from luxury homes to commercial venues.
Sonance occupies a strong position in the mid‑to‑high‑end custom‑installation market, widely recognized and frequently awarded in architectural and outdoor audio. It is a go‑to choice for integrators, architects, and design‑conscious clients who prioritize both performance and visual subtlety, rather than visible hi‑fi hardware.
