Rosso Fiorentino Arno 40 speakers Great speakers/Beautiful music

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 thanks for the heads up regarding the Stereo Times review of the Rosso Fiorentino Arno 40 speakers, very nicely written review by the way. I always appreciate a heads up regarding your reviews.

@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.

Just another brand with the biz model of stuffing mediocre, mid-fi drivers into a glitzed MDF box.
