Designed in honor of Antonio Stradivari, the second generation of Stradivari is steeped in tradition - yet reinvented with modern innovation and elegance.
The violins of Italian luthier Antonio Stradivari are universally celebrated as some of the finest ever crafted. Stradivari's commitment to precision, artistry, and innovation continue to be reflected in this new generation of the Stradivari loudspeaker.
Released twenty years after the original design to the HiFi world by storm, the evolution of Stradivari coincides with Sonus faber’s 40th anniversary, emphasizing our commitment to both honoring our roots and staying on the forefront of acoustical engineering.
DEDICATION TO PROGRESS AND INGENUITY
Stradivari takes inspiration from the Italian Renaissance violin making tradition. In the eighteenth century, advancements in violin making challenged classical rules by enlarging the instrument’s shape to create a unique tone.
Similarly, the reintroduction of the Stradivari speaker uses the latest advancement in audio technology to widen and enhance the soundstage. With cutting-edge engineering in low-frequency management, one of Stradivari’s most distinctive features is the ability to adjust the woofers to the size of the room, individually adapting pristine sound to every unique space.
TRADITIONAL DESIGN WITH A MODERN TOUCH
Stradivari maintains the legacy of meticulous woodworking and artisanship at the heart of every Sonus faber product. Seven layers of lacquer result in a rich red finish that covers the entire body of the Stradivari. The iconic front soundboard evokes the artistry of timeless wood-crafted musical instruments with modern influences woven in through interspersed aluminum architecture.
The design of the Stradivari maximizes the power of low frequencies with a unique design that expands the soundstage. Through careful simulations and adaptations run by our Research and Design team, the non-parallel walls within the acoustic chamber of the woofers prevent the formation of standing waves above the tuned frequencies. The result is the highest quality sound reproduction with our signature Natural Sound.
