WHAT HAPPENED TO SONUS FABER?
Hey markmendenhall I loved Sonus faber. I almost sprung for the Amati futura and was going to have to wait to by an amp and a source months down the line to just afford them. I think they are the most beautiful and musical speakers in the game. It...

@1kw that’s great. When I do a second system it will be from Sonus faber golden age. I might get some Cremona m or some toys I have owned toy bookshelves before and I loved them  
WHAT HAPPENED TO SONUS FABER?
As far as irresponsible reporting.  I am a fan of the older Sonus faber designs. I don’t like the new ones personal preference. I like the older wood work. Before the olympica came out I thought that the were the most beautiful speakers in the wor...

I always wanted to try simaudio. How is it 
WHAT HAPPENED TO SONUS FABER?

WHAT HAPPENED TO SONUS FABER?
My Kr Audio could really open an older Sonus faber up. That’s the only speaker I would ever go to if I changed my system. I would consider a second system with an older Sonus faber  
WHAT HAPPENED TO SONUS FABER?
Anyway I have owned two of their speakers. I owned the luito and the auditor m. I asked this question because of the lackluster wood work I was seeing and the new speakers are not as musical and rich to me. Serblin was a master. I read up on him. ...

Wcfiel man just stay off my threads. I wasn’t talking to you. Go away. @roxy54 go away y’all talk to each other. I removed the other threads hoping that y’all would go bother someone else.  
WHAT HAPPENED TO SONUS FABER?
Tonykay. I had heard some of the same but really. They had a great musical iconic sound.  They had a certain kind of customer. Their speakers used to be works of art. Now they cheap copies and the craftsmanship and sound are just copy cats. They h...
