The Sonus Faber Maxima Amator...worth a look.


Sonus Faber are on a roll! After debuting the Sonus Faber Electa Amator 3, they have now come out with a new speaker, the Maxima Amator. A small floor standing model, with the usual amazing cabinetry and what looks to be a two way. I have not heard this speaker, but it sure looks amazing, and if looks are anything like what it sounds...I am interested. Anyone have a chance to hear the new SF?

$15K+ for a slab of marble and a gimmicky plexiglass window in the back. It reminds of something made....you know where. They look nice from the front.

They better sound convincing. I'm a SF admirer.
I'll take a pair of used Stradivari's for not much more.

@tonnesen  Thanks for posting the link to the mini-review. The new Maxima would appear to be constructed of solid walnut, which these days is a rarity in speaker production. For someone with a small room, who cannot accommodate the speaker in tablejockey's post, I would think this could be another contender.
Lots of interesting quotes from Livio Cucuzza, SF’s chief design officer in the mini-review.  Sounds like they had time on their hands with COVID and wanted to try to perfect a two driver speaker:  Cucuzza said “I have always been a fan of pure two-way designs, finding them more intimate and magical with some musical programs, of course accepting the limits they have.”
