The Sonus faber Stradivari is one of the most recognisable loudspeakers in the brand’s history, inspired by the legendary violin maker Antonio Stradivari. This latest generation reinterprets that legacy with modern engineering, combining tradition and innovation in equal measure. Introduced as part of a continued evolution of the original design, it reflects both a respect for heritage and a commitment to advancing acoustic performance.

Designed to deliver a wide and immersive soundstage, the Stradivari stands apart with its expansive presentation. Its architecture allows it to project music with remarkable breadth and depth, filling larger listening spaces with ease. A defining feature is its ability to adapt low-frequency output to the room, ensuring consistent and controlled performance regardless of environment.

A key innovation is the adjustable low-frequency system, allowing the speaker to be tailored to different room acoustics. This Low Frequency Adjuster enables fine tuning of bass response without compromising signal integrity. Combined with advanced woofer design and dedicated engineering, it delivers bass that is both powerful and precisely controlled.

The Stradivari incorporates Intono technology within its midrange chamber, carefully managing internal air pressure to improve clarity. This results in more natural and transparent reproduction of vocals and instruments. By reducing unwanted resonance and optimising airflow, the system enhances overall tonal balance and midrange realism.

Low-frequency performance is further enhanced by the Clepsydra reflex design, which uses a distinctive hourglass-shaped internal structure. This approach improves airflow efficiency while maintaining compact duct dimensions. The down-firing configuration also provides greater flexibility in placement, helping the speaker perform consistently across a variety of room layouts.

The cabinet design is both visually striking and acoustically purposeful. Featuring non-parallel internal walls, it reduces standing waves and unwanted resonance within the enclosure. The wide front baffle contributes to the speaker’s expansive soundstage, while the combination of wood, aluminium and leather reinforces both structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.

Each Stradivari loudspeaker is handcrafted in Italy, showcasing meticulous attention to detail. The cabinet is finished with multiple layers of high-gloss lacquer, creating a rich and luxurious appearance. Premium materials, including fine wood and leather, are combined with precision engineering to produce a speaker that is as much a piece of art as it is a high-performance audio component.

Technically, the Stradivari is a 3.5-way system featuring a 28mm tweeter, a dedicated midrange driver and dual large woofers. It offers a wide frequency response from 25 Hz to 35,000 Hz, with a sensitivity of 92 dB and a recommended amplifier range of 100 to 600 watts. This combination allows it to deliver exceptional scale, dynamic range and refinement, positioning it firmly at the pinnacle of high-end loudspeaker design.
