I would like to sell these wonderful Sonab speakers. Members will know that they operate completely differently from conventional speakers by being designed to interact with the room itself. Being omnidirectional, they work with room boundaries to project a realistic soundstage - I was keen to try these and can report they work remarkably well. They are also incredibly detailed, possessing great presence, pace and a natural tone. Although a very compact design, the bass is impressive as well.
Each speaker features an Alnico Philips 9710 full range driver (alone worth more than the asking price here) and three Peerless cone tweeters. The cabinets are real Teak veneer and they are completely original.
These speakers rarely come up for sale - for good reason - and work very well in modern interiors. They were very expensive when new. I am looking to sell these for circa 220 Euro.
Please feel free to ask any questions and I will try to answer. Meet up possible somewhere north of Dublin.
Happy to email a few pics - please ask.
