About Sonus faber
As a loudspeaker designer, Franco Serblin thought - literally - outside of the traditional loudspeaker box. Serblin founded Sonus faber in Vicenza, Italy in 1983 with the company’s priorities focused as much on style and craftsmanship as on technology and engineering.
Its first product was a 2-way monitor speaker with a midrange cone in Kevlar and a cabinet in solid walnut wood, a method of cabinet construction that has become a recurring theme. Since that time Sonus faber has created some of the most beautifully crafted speakers in the world, which should come as no surprise, hailing from the region that is home to illustrious luthiers with names like Stradivarius and Guarneri. To see and touch the cabinet of a Sonus faber loudspeaker is to fall in love with wood, lacquer and leather, materials as natural and pure as the sound of the speakers themselves.
Sonus faber’s current speakers run the gamut from affordable to “if you have to ask?” territory with a host of desirable models in between, from the entry level Lumina range, through the lute shaped Sonetto series and onto the handsomely crafted Olympica Nova models which are an absolute joy to look at and listen to. If you want a piece of art that is also one of the world’s finest audio transducers, look no further than a speaker from Sonus faber.
