WHAT HAPPENED TO SONUS FABER?

Sonus Faber is a company that produces a fairly large range of speakers. They give you the choice of going from an entry level product...all the way up to SOTA. The new Aida 2’s will compete with most any speaker out there..
So, for those who are happy to naysay this company, I think they really are disseminating poor information. SF released an excellent speaker a few months back...the new Electa Amator 3! If you can find one, go and have a listen...I’m sure you will be as impressed as i was.

@willmacc Go and take a listen to the new EA3’s and then get back to us...and yes, this beautiful speaker does employ wood, leather, marble etc.LOL.

@calvinj The original designs from Franco are certainly some of the best speakers that SF has made. I am certainly NOT disputing that fact. I personally enjoy his GH model even though I could have gone and acquired any of the newer models or even some of the far more expensive competitors. IMHO, Franco hit one out of the park when he designed the GH and to a lesser extent the Extrema and the Strad.
Nonetheless, i do feel that the new line ,particularly the new Aida, the Fenice and the recently released EA3 are excellent speakers. Unfortunately, I also think that SF did somewhat lose their way with the versions of the Guarneri that followed the GH. Not that surprising to me, because to improve on near perfection is a very difficult task...and one that is easily failed.IMHO.
