Sonus faber heeft tijdens de High End Show in Munchen de nieuwe Guarneri Evolution geintroduceerd. Was de Amati Futura al een speaker die je de mond open deed vallen, de Guarneri Evolution deed die weer sluiten. Zo mooi ............. Wij verwachten de eerste exemplaren in juni en hopen U voor die tijd meer informatie te kunnen geven.
Vanaf heden Van Duppen Audio in Horst heeft in zijn assortiment de Sonus faber Toy en Toy Tower, Liuto en Cremona M. www.van-duppen.nl
Amati Futura
Het is een behoorlijk lange tijd geleden in de audio-geschiedenis dat een luidspreker zoveel lof toebedeeld krijgt.
“Soms zeggen niet audiofiele klanten bijna smalend "hoeveel”? en lachen wanneer zij worden geconfronteerd met de prijs van sommige hi-fi apparatuur. Deze keer niet. Deze keer is de prijs terecht en te rechtvaardigen. Niet alleen zien de Futura’s er fantastisch uit, ze klinken ook fantastisch. Alles van en in deze luidspreker getuigt van het beste van high-end" Alan Sircom – hi-fi+

Sonus Faber Liuto
The all-new Liuto may be the best speaker in the Sonus family. A three-way, vented floorstander, it combines warmth and detail with earthy low-frequency extension that dips confidently into 30Hz range. But where it really turns up the heat is in the lack of smearing during complex orchestral passages. The Liuto’s primary character shades a bit to the dark side, and in some cases it’s not as fast on transients
as some others. Nonetheless, it is a high-voltage performer - entertaining and musical. Reviewed by NG, Issue 199
Sonus Faber Cremona M
The latest addition to the Cremona family, the Cremona M retains the lute-shape enclosure that Sonus Faber popularized in its flagship Amati and Guarneri models. The M is powerful and passionate with a rich, warm balance. Yet it’s no wallflower dynamically. In its timbral sophistication and
impressive dynamic range, even at orchestral levels, it achieves the kind of top-to-bottom coherence that makes magic happen. Reviewed by NG, 189
Sonus Faber Elipsa
Yet another gorgeous speaker from this outstanding Italian manufacturer, the Elipsa’s tone colors are ravishing, its overall sound smooth, warm, and intensely seductive. At the same
time, it will easily show differences in recordings as well as associated components. Reviewed by WG, Issue 173 |

Welcome to the 2011 edition of The Absolute Sound’s Editors’ Choice Awards, our annual Recommended Products list. On the following pages we present the gear that our editors and writers have selected as most worthy of your consideration. These are the components we ourselves would buy—or recommend to friends and family. Each product category is divided into price ranges, with components listed in order of ascending cost (though a few items, like cables and accessories, are listed alphabetically for clarity’s sake). Each recommendation is also accompanied by a capsule review, the original reviewer’s name or initials, and the issue the review appeared in. Note that in a few cases a product may have been reviewed in one of our sister publications, Playback or AVguide.com, or the review may be pending publication, or the product may not have been formally reviewed but earns a recommendation based on one or more writer’s extensive experience with it.
Given that this is the high end, where components generally have long lifespans, some of our recommendations look back several years. At the same time, in an effort to be as selective and up-to-date as possible, we have dropped some components that appeared on last year’s list, usually because they have been discontinued but sometimes because fresh competition has caused us to reconsider the choice.
TAS founder Harry Pearson’s selections can be found in this issue’s HP’s Workshop.

Sonus faber was showing its beauteous, top-of-the-line $45k Stradivarius multiway floorstander (which I reviewed several years ago) driven by ARC 610Ts and augmented by REL three-decker woofers. As you might expect, given all that bass fire-power, bottom- end transients were so fast and powerful I wrote the word “Boom!” in my notepad. Unfortunately, there was also some of the wrong kind of boom—a room resonance that somewhat obscured the lowest octave. Nonetheless, the Strads were very impressive on my tough Mario Lanza disc, reproducing his voice and the piano accompaniment with exceptionally beautiful tone and texture. |
Toy
Met ingang van maart 2010 zullen de producten uit de Toy lijn te verkrijgen zijn in twee afwerkingen.
- de huidige afwerking met het gladde bruin/grijs gekleurde leer
- nieuw is een afwerking met classic leer (bekend van de niet meer geproduceerde Concert series)
dat momenteel wordt toegepast op de Liuto wood serie.
Er is geen prijsverschil voor beide afwerkingen. Voor de toekomst zijn nog twee uitvoeringen aangekondigd, hout en lak.
Hiervan zijn nog geen verdere (prijs) gegevens bekend.

Sonus Faber Liuto
The all-new Liuto may be the best speaker in the Sonus family. A three-way, vented floorstander, the Liuto preserves classic Sonus visual cues but with a cleaner more contemporary look. Sonically it imparts a combination of warmth and detail along with earthy low-frequency extension that dips confidently into 30Hz range. But where it really turns up the heat is in the lack of smearing during complex orchestral passages—stringsection layering, microdynamic interplay, and depth cues are more vividly and authentically rendered. The Liuto’s primary character shades a bit to the dark side, and in some cases it’s not as fast on transients as some others. Nonetheless, the Liuto is a high-voltage performer— entertaining and musical. NG, 199
Sonus Faber Cremona M

The M is powerful and passionate with a rich, warm balance. Yet it’s no wallflower dynamically. In its timbral sophistication and impressive dynamic range, even at orchestral levels, it achieves the kind of top-to-bottom coherence that makes magic happen. NG, 189

Liuto
"Pound for pound, dollar for dollar, it's the best speaker in the proud Sonus Faber family"
- Neil Gader (The Absolute Sound) over de Liuto luidsprekers.
Monitor en Liuto
Onderstaand vindt U een bericht van Sonus Faber waarin de lancering van de Monitor en Liuto met hout afwerking wordt aangekondigd. Zoals U kunt lezen zal deze uitvoering vanaf midden oktober leverbaar zijn. De prijs is dezelfde als die voor de zwarte uitvoering.
In dit bericht kunt U ook lezen dat Sonus Faber tijdens de internationale Top Audio show in Milaan met twee publieksprijzen is bekroond:
- die voor het beste twee-weg systeem en
- die voor de beste “Top Audio room”.
Sonus Faber is pleased to present in advance the new line LIUTO WOOD, previewed at the international Top Audio (Milan • 17-20 September). On this occasion the audience has awarded Sonus Faber two prizes of high value: 'Best two-way system' and 'Best Top Audio room'.
LIUTO WOOD was born from the careful research and selection of materials of the highest quality. The craftsmanship of the production, the design and manufacture completely made in Italy make it a unique and unrepeatable product.
Different from the other model thanks to its harmonious lines created through the use of new materials, Liuto Wood testifies to the company's desire to meet the market: Sonus Faber has chosen to keep the same price as the current lacquered version.
The version Liuto Wood will be launched on the market starting from mid-October.

The M is powerful and passionate with a rich, warm balance. Yet it’s no wallflower dynamically.

The Toy luidspreker
Ken Kessler in het kort over the TOY luidspreker: “The smallest, cutest Sonus Faber yet proves it's no mere plaything”. Lees hier het hele verhaal.
Monitor en Liuto
Het gaat maar door....Ook gloednieuw twee nieuwe Sonus Faber luidsprekers: de Monitor en de Liuto. Zoals we van Sonus Faber mogen verwachten zijn dit weer twee geweldige produkten. De eerste klankindrukken zijn werkelijk buitengewoon positief. Beide luidsprekers munten uit in gemak, luchtigheid, openheid en muzikaliteit. Bovendien is de afwerking ook dit keer weer zeer fraai te noemen. Dit moet U gehoord en gezien hebben!!
