NOTE: The pictures above are taken from the net and are NOT of the pieces on sale. Actual pics available on request.


The Extremas are Legendary speakers. When launched around 1992 they were priced at US $ 12,000.


Made from solid wood, the Extremas weigh a massive 40kg or 88 lbs.

This is what Stereophile had to say :

Built by ( and considered by some as his best product) Franco Serblin who started Sonus faber - Italy; in 1982, the Extremas are unique in many respects.

They are 2 way Stand Mount speakers, and use the legendary Esotar Tweeter... which today costs US $ 750 per tweeter !

The Extremas use Only 1 Resistor + 1 Inductor in their crossover, and Specifically avaoid the use of a Capacitor. The simple Cross Over minimises Phase Shifts, resulting in breathtaking realisim of sound delivered.

The Speakers are fairly power hungry, and i would recommend an amp of atleast 80 Watts ( Solid State) or 40 Watts of Valve driven power.

I LOVED the (Un-usual) combination of the Prima Luna prologue-2 Integrated Amp Driving the Extremas.

Stereophile has given an Extremely detailed and informative review of these speakers at :

Stereophile: Sonus Faber Extrema loudspeaker

Even if you have no intention of buying these speakers, please read the review, to appreaciate a simple and straight-forward design approach adopted by Franco Serblin.

The Sonus faber Extremas are RARELY available in the Pre-Owned market, and when available, are priced (at Audiogon) for US $ 2500.

( I know of a Delhi Seller asking for Rs 2 Lakhs for a pair).

My Sonus Faber Pair is on sale for Rs 1,00,000.

I have used them with (decent) Locally made - Indian - Stands, priced at Rs 20K, but will include these free with the Speakers.

Buyer pays Freight.

(No Obligation) Auditions are most welcome. Please bring yr own music, and let me know a day in Advance. I am based in Mumbai.

If you have any questions, do ask.

These speakers are in Good condition given their age. All drivers are original, and not repaired / tampered.

If you are looking for Realism, Imaging, detail and engaging music ( they also pack a whallop - Try Kondo Drums ) you MUST listen to these.

I will miss these speakers ....

Hi, Are the Extrema's still for sale? If so, for how much shipped to the UK? Great speakers, I am looking for an upgrade. Bob

Sorry, Bob.

They are HEAVY, and the shipping would have killed the deal...
