Sonus Faber Stradivari Gen2

Sonus Faber Stradivari Gen2: A Symphony of Art and Sound

The Sonus Faber Stradivari Gen2 loudspeakers are not merely audio reproducers; they are a testament to the enduring marriage of artistry and engineering. Inspired by the legendary craftsmanship of Antonio Stradivari, the master luthier, these speakers embody the same meticulous attention to detail and pursuit of perfection that defined his creations. The Stradivari Gen2 represents the pinnacle of Sonus Faber's unwavering commitment to delivering an unparalleled listening experience, transforming your living space into a concert hall of exceptional clarity and emotional depth.   

A Legacy Reimagined

Building upon the legacy of the original Stradivari, the Gen2 iteration elevates the design and technology to new heights. Every curve, every material, and every component has been carefully selected and refined to achieve sonic perfection. The iconic lute-shaped enclosure, a hallmark of Sonus Faber's design philosophy, is not simply an aesthetic statement; it is a critical element in minimizing internal resonances and standing waves, ensuring a pure and uncolored sound.   

Exquisite Craftsmanship

The Stradivari Gen2 is a masterpiece of Italian craftsmanship. The cabinet is constructed from layers of meticulously selected woods, expertly shaped and finished to create a visually stunning and acoustically optimized structure. The high-gloss finish, available in sophisticated colors like Graphite, reflects light with a deep, lustrous sheen, adding a touch of timeless elegance to any interior. The attention to detail extends to every aspect of the speaker, from the hand-stitched leather accents to the precisely machined metal components.   

Advanced Driver Technology

At the heart of the Stradivari Gen2's sonic prowess lies its advanced driver technology. The tweeter, a DAD (Damped Apex Dome) design, delivers pristine high frequencies with exceptional clarity and detail. The midrange driver, featuring a cellulose pulp cone, reproduces vocals and instruments with remarkable naturalness and warmth. The woofers, utilizing a powerful neodymium magnet system, provide deep, articulate bass that fills the room with a sense of presence and impact.   

• Tweeter: The DAD tweeter, renowned for its low distortion and wide dispersion, ensures that every nuance of the high frequencies is faithfully reproduced, creating a sense of air and spaciousness.
• Midrange: The cellulose pulp midrange driver, chosen for its natural sonic characteristics, delivers a smooth and transparent sound, allowing the listener to connect with the music on an emotional level. 
  
• Woofers: The powerful woofers, housed in a carefully tuned enclosure, provide a solid foundation of deep, controlled bass, adding weight and authority to the overall sound.

Cross-Over Network and Phase Coherence

The crossover network, a critical element in any multi-driver speaker, is meticulously designed and implemented in the Stradivari Gen2. It seamlessly integrates the drivers, ensuring a smooth and coherent transition between frequency ranges. The phase coherence of the drivers is carefully optimized to create a holographic soundstage, where instruments and vocals are precisely positioned in space.   

A Soundstage of Immersive Realism

The Stradivari Gen2 creates a soundstage that is both expansive and intimate. The speakers disappear, leaving only the music, enveloping the listener in a three-dimensional sonic landscape. The sense of realism is palpable, with every instrument and vocal rendered with lifelike clarity and detail. The dynamics are breathtaking; from the softest pianissimo to the most thunderous crescendo, the Stradivari Gen2 captures the full emotional range of the music.
