Sonus faber Il Cremonese Floorstanding Speakers | The Grid

A Tribute to Stradivari. A Masterpiece of Sound.

Inspired by one of the most celebrated violins in history, the Sonus faber Il Cremonese brings together centuries of Italian instrument-making tradition and modern acoustic engineering in an extraordinary reference floorstanding loudspeaker.

Named in honor of Antonio Stradivari's legendary 1715 violin, Il Cremonese embodies Sonus faber's dedication to natural sound, meticulous craftsmanship, and timeless design.

Its distinctive five-sided cabinet, advanced 3.5-way architecture, and luxurious materials create a loudspeaker designed to reproduce music with remarkable scale, refinement, and emotional expression.

More than a loudspeaker, Il Cremonese is a statement of Italian artistry and a centerpiece for the most sophisticated listening environments.

Rhomboidal Diamond Design: Sculpted for Sound

The unmistakable silhouette of Il Cremonese is defined by Sonus faber's Rhomboidal Diamond Design.

Its five-sided cabinet incorporates non-parallel walls to help manage internal standing waves, while its carefully engineered geometry enhances structural rigidity.

Specialized Avional surface treatments, using an aluminum alloy associated with aerospace applications, contribute to the cabinet's advanced construction.

The result is an enclosure that combines sophisticated acoustic engineering with the sculptural elegance of a handcrafted Italian instrument.

Every Driver Deserves Its Own Acoustic Environment

Il Cremonese takes a carefully considered approach to internal cabinet construction.

Each transducer operates within an acoustic environment designed for its specific requirements. Individually selected damping materials, including open-cell thermoplastic foam and specialized fibrous materials, help manage unwanted internal energy.

This attention to acoustic isolation supports the loudspeaker's ability to reproduce music with clarity, control, and natural tonal character.

From delicate vocal recordings to full-scale orchestral performances, Il Cremonese is designed to preserve the character and complexity of the music.

Reference-Level 3.5-Way Engineering

Il Cremonese employs a sophisticated 3.5-way loudspeaker architecture within a full para-aperiodic vented enclosure.

With a manufacturer-specified frequency response of 35 Hz to 35 kHz and 92 dB sensitivity, it is engineered to reproduce a broad musical spectrum with dynamic capability and detail.

Its advanced acoustic design makes it a compelling foundation for a reference two-channel system, particularly when paired with carefully selected amplification and source components.

Three Extraordinary Italian Finishes

Il Cremonese is available in three luxurious high-gloss wood finishes, each complemented by carefully selected inlays and black leather detailing.

Walnut High Gloss

Rich walnut wood with contrasting black inlays and black leather. A classic expression of Sonus faber's Italian craftsmanship.

Red High Gloss

A striking red wood finish with black inlays and black leather, inspired by the visual heritage of fine Italian instruments.

Wenge High Gloss

Deep, sophisticated Wenge wood with contrasting maple inlays and black leather for a distinctive contemporary appearance.
