Sonus Faber Guarneri Tradition

Description

Description Freakuence!

This is feasting anyway! You may hate it, you may love it…. but we think these are particularly beautifully finished monitors from Sonus Faber. And musical they are! Give off a wide stereo image, which comes off the speakers very well. The low is round, and elevators the mid well. The tweeter also plays very spaciously. Nice set. As small as they are, they need a stable amplifier to show their best side.

General description

The Sonus Faber Guarneri Tradition is a tribute to Italian violin maker Giuseppe Guarneri. The design of this speaker is inspired by the shape of a lute, which is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also contributes to a natural and refined sound reproduction.

The enclosure has been carefully designed to minimize internal resonances, resulting in a clear and detailed sound. The Guarneri Tradition utilizes advanced technologies, such as the Damped Apex Dome (D.A.D.) tweeter, which provides accurate and harmonious high-frequency reproduction.

The accompanying stand is made of a carbon-fiber monocoque, providing maximum structural strength and an elegant appearance.
