Rosso Fiorentino

I started out with the Fiesole 1 and moved up to the Volterra 1 then 2. If you are thinking about the Certaldo 2 I would seriously consider the Fiesole 2. The Rossos are great sounding speakers and really go great with Norma electronics.

Here's the review I wrote on the Elba 2's.

You can check out ZERO FIDELITY's Youtube Review on the Elba2.  I Purchased the Certaldo 2 (Blue Leather with Black) but havent used them yet.

Do it!

No, seriously. I have well over a year with my Elba 2s and for the first time in my 2 channel listening life, I have zero FOMO and even less desire to move on or upgrade.

A friend of mine summed up these things better than I could…”They do absolutely nothing wrong and everything right.” And I completely concur. It’s the first speaker I have owned that just disappears into my room. They throw a soundstage that extends well beyond the side walls and create a height that I thought was only available in line arrays.

The reproduction of sound is outstanding. I quite literally listen to everything and they climb into upper registers without sounding harsh or brittle and they dig deep enough that the subs I have in my room have been crossed over at 50hz with a very severe slope. This is because outside of some electronica and pipe organ music, they don’t need any extra help.

I truly hate to sound all gushy over these speakers but I have honestly never been happier with an audio purchase. They are here to stay…at least until I can quadruple the size of my room and move up to the Siena 2s.
