Faux leather completely covers each Domus speaker's front, top, rear, and bottom surfaces.

The woofers and midrange drivers also benefit from trickle-down technology-the vented phase plug (that's the silver bullet-shaped part in the center) was originally designed for the Stradivari speaker. Sonus faber has derived the Domus Series' ring-radiator-type tweeter from the one used in the Cremona speakers. The lute-shaped designs bear a striking resemblance to the company's Cremonas ($8,995 per pair) and the new Amati Anniversarios ($27,500 per pair). The line includes the svelte Wall Domus wall-mount model, the Concertino Domus bookshelf speaker, the Center Domus, the Concerto floorstanding speaker, and the magnificent Grand Piano Domus tower speaker. Sonus faber has historically christened their speaker models after venerated musical-instrument makers-Stradivari, Amati, and Guarneri-but the Domus moniker comes from Latin, meaning a private family residence of modest to palatial proportions. That concept inspired the form and function of Serblin's designs, which synthesize the best of old-world craftsmanship with finely tuned technology. Think about it: The sound of a guitar, violin, or any stringed instrument is generated within a carefully tuned resonating acoustic chamber. For him, the art of speaker and musical-instrument design has everything to do with controlling resonance. That's because they make for pretty sexy sound, too.įranco Serblin founded Sonus faber in 1983 in Vicenza, Italy, to craft speakers that played music instead of merely reproducing it.
Yeah baby, the Domus Series' enticing curves-sheathed in supple black leatherette, poised on spiked feet-will get audiophiles all hot and bothered. I don't think I've ever before referred to a speaker as "sexy," but Sonus faber's new Domus line is definitely hot stuff.
