@teajay The Certaldo 2 is at the top of my speaker replacement list and very curious if the Arno 40 is a worthy upgrade over the Certaldo 2. Will be attending Axpona 2025 to narrow down my speaker choices to 3.
Rosso Fiorentino Arno 40 speakers Great speakers/Beautiful music
Stereo Times posted yesterday my review on the Rosso Fiorentino Arno 40 speakers. I put the 40s, RF's new model, on my most WANTED COMPONENTS for 2024 because they are one of the most exquisite musical speakers I have ever experienced. For all the details take a look at the review. If you own a Rosso Fiorentino speaker share what your experiences have been.

Hey dayglow, I have never heard the Certaldo 2 speaker. My hunch is for another 5K you get another level of refinement/polish to the RF house sound. If you like one of their less expensive speakers, you just get more as you move up the line. Remember some of their larger physical models might not do as well in a smaller acoustic space. If you would want to hear the Arno 40s during Axpona this year, I don't live very far away from the show. You are more than welcomed, if they don't show the 40's at the show. They probably will show the 40s being that its their newest model. |
@teajay Thx for the quick reply and invite. At $7.5k -$15k IMO is the sweet spot for a near reference loudspeaker. Currently my list includes the Certaldo 2, Atohm GT 2/3HD, YG Talus and the Quad 2812(not heard X model) all have a high(Audio) ceiling in this price segment. Also considering a preowned YG Carmel 2, any thoughts? |
Great review on the Arno 40's Terry. Based on owning Voltera 2's for three years your description of their positive traits align with my observations. They are a music lovers speaker line much like another relatively under the radar brand, Reynaud. Maybe reach out to Mike Pranka, the Well Tempered, Dynavector and Reynaud distributor about getting a pair of their floor standers in for review. |
