Overview

UNPARALLELED ARTISTRY AND SOUND

The original Guarneri was the first high-fidelity speaker with a cabinet structure inspired by the lute. Maintaining what has become a signature design of Sonus faber, our Research and Development team has continued to advance Guarneri with every new generation.

BRINGING SOUND TO LIFE

Guarneri maintains Sonus faber’s commitment to classic artisanship that harnesses the power of innovation. The fifth generation Guarneri introduces a groundbreaking new midwoofer that reduces resonance and delivers nuanced acoustic detail. Utilizing new crossover technology, the midwoofer lowers the noise floor and eliminates background noise, delivering three-dimensional sound with the timing and layers of a live performance.

TIMELESS CRAFTSMANSHIP AND CONTEMPORARY ENGINEERING

The Guarneri speakers boast a cabinet design that mirrors the curves and elegance of a violin. This design serves both an aesthetic and acoustic purpose, reducing internal resonances for a refined and natural sound. The iconic Lute shape also enhances the speakers' rigidity, further optimizing their acoustic performance.
