Sonab OD11 lanserades på 70-talet så renovering är nödvändig. Detta är seriöst utfört på dessa par; Original basar, Peerless/Sonab SC165-1 med alnicomagnet, är noggrant renoverade. Peerless mt20 diskanten är utbytt till fräsch begagnad mt24. Detta betraktas som ett bättre element än mt20. Original delningsfilter genomgånget och justerat för de nya diskanterna med bland annat brantare delning. Ny mångtrådig kopparkabel, Supra 2,5, mellan ny prydlig terminal och delningsfilter. D
Is this a clean, genuinely restored pair worth paying up for? At kr 4,500, it sits above the kr 3,195 median and even above the kr 5,514 75th percentile anchor only if the market is particularly soft; against the supplied comparables, it reads as fair-to-strong rather than a bargain.
That said, “helrenoverade” matters here: these are loved for their big, room-filling, omnidirectional presentation and easy placement, so a proper rebuild can add real value. If the restoration includes fresh foam, crossover work, and solid cabinet cosmetics, kr 4,500 is easy to justify; if not, this is the sort of vintage speaker where a sloppy refurb can hide age-related costs, so ask exactly what was done and whether the drivers match.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Sonab is a Swedish hi-fi name that dates to the 1960s, with its best-known early products tied to designer Stig Carlsson and the “Carlsson” loudspeaker lineage. One source says the company was introduced on the market in 1966 as Sonab AB, and later histories describe it as a state-backed Swedish manufacturer associated with Carlsson’s loudspeaker concepts.
The brand is most closely linked to speakers, especially omnidirectional models such as the OA series, and it is also described in vintage-retail and enthusiast sources as having made amplifiers and turntables. There is much less evidence that Sonab was a major player in modern categories like DACs, headphones, or cables, so its identity is really anchored in classic loudspeaker design rather than a broad contemporary audio lineup.
In market terms, Sonab is best understood today as a vintage-collector and cult-hi-fi brand rather than a current high-end mainstream manufacturer. Its reputation rests on distinctive Scandinavian industrial design, historically important speaker engineering, and strong appeal among enthusiasts who value restored classics and unusual omni-directional systems.
