Paolo Tezzon has left Sonus Faber

The man behind Sonus Faber, responsible for the "new" Sonus Faber sound which I believe brings them huge success has left the company few months ago. He worked alongside Franco Serblin and successfully continued the Sonus Faber DNA.

However, I don't think this was a smart step and I believe Fine Sounds UK goes the wrong direction.  I really like the company and I do own Olympica II speakers which are great but I don't see any bright future here. Who knows, time will tell ...

Those Sonus Faber Lumina, both 1 & 2, are beautiful. Not certain if he had something to do with their design or not.

Well, aldo he made just three models under his name with new company, I must say that I prefer his recent (Franco Serblin) work more than any of the new stuff that SF made. Somehow, the SF did not feel like the genuine SF once was, aldo they stll made some fine speakers

@alexatpos I never had the chance to listen to the old franco models execpt once (cremona m) but that was very limited experience. I'm curious what magic older sonus faber had that the new models hadn't

Franco was able to bring a lot of coherence into his designs, more so IMO than Paolo. Franco also had a great ear for what the sound of a natural 'unamplified' instrument sounded like. This was one of Franco's greatest strengths, and which I think very few designers can compete with him on. Franco also was more into the 'traditional' look of his speaker designs, wherein I think Paolo is more of a contemporary designer.
