Harmonia Distribution has been appointed as the official US distributor for Bassocontinuo, the renowned Italian manufacturer of hand-crafted audio racks. This partnership brings the premium Italian brand’s high-performance, visually striking equipment supports to the American high-end audio market, while Canadian distribution continues to be managed by The Watershed Group.
Founded in Bergamo, in Italy’s Lombardy region, Bassocontinuo has built its reputation on uncompromising craftsmanship and a scientific approach to vibration isolation. Every rack is entirely produced locally, with all components—including advanced materials like carbon fiber and packaging—sourced from nearby Italian suppliers. This commitment ensures exceptional quality, consistency, and traceability in every product.
Fusion of engineering and elegant design
What sets Bassocontinuo apart is its fusion of rigorous engineering and elegant Italian design. Each rack family undergoes extensive vibration and isolation testing at the prestigious Polytechnic University of Milan, with detailed test reports publicly available on the company’s website. These studies validate the performance claims, employing advanced techniques to measure transmissibility, frequency response, and damping across various frequencies.
Jeff Coates, Director of Sales at Harmonia Distribution, highlighted the brand’s unique appeal in today’s market. “In a world of cost-optimized, globally sourced blandness,” Coates said, “Bassocontinuo goes out of its way to find people that are wonderful at their craft and then works with them to hand-make its products.”
The timing of this partnership aligns with evolving consumer preferences in high-end audio. Modern audiophiles increasingly integrate their systems into living spaces rather than dedicated listening rooms, demanding components that deliver both sonic excellence and aesthetic sophistication.
Lorenzo Belloli, Founder and CEO of Bassocontinuo, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration. “The US has always been a key market for us, and partnering with Harmonia Distribution marks an important milestone in our international expansion,” Belloli stated. “Through this partnership, we aim to establish a strong and reliable presence on the territory, supported by a distributor with deep expertise and an excellent local network.”
Premium offerings
Harmonia Distribution, based in La Verne, California, specializes in importing and distributing carefully selected, performance-focused audio brands to retailers across North America. The addition of Bassocontinuo—known for its modular, customizable rack lines featuring innovative materials and construction—strengthens Harmonia’s portfolio of premium offerings.
As the high-end audio industry continues to emphasize both performance and lifestyle integration, this distribution agreement positions Bassocontinuo to reach a broader audience of discerning enthusiasts seeking racks that elevate both sound quality and room decor.
