Sonus faber Lumina I Bookshelf Speakers | The Grid HiFi

Small Speaker. Unmistakably Sonus faber.

Italian-Made 2-Way Bookshelf Loudspeaker

You don't need a large room—or large loudspeakers—to enjoy the artistry of Sonus faber.

The Lumina I is the most compact loudspeaker in the Lumina collection, bringing Italian craftsmanship and high-fidelity engineering into a cabinet measuring just 11 inches tall and 5.8 inches wide.

Inside, a 29 mm Damped Apex Dome (D.A.D.) tweeter and a 120 mm natural-fiber midwoofer work together to reproduce music with clarity, detail, and natural tonal character. A front-facing bass-reflex port helps the compact enclosure deliver satisfying musical weight while providing flexibility in smaller listening spaces.

The cabinet combines a multilayer wood front baffle with hand-applied black leather, creating the distinctive balance of traditional materials and contemporary design associated with Sonus faber.

Made in Vicenza, Italy, the Lumina I is an inviting way to build a serious stereo system, elevate a desktop listening setup, or bring premium sound into a compact home theater.

All the character of Sonus faber, thoughtfully scaled for smaller spaces.

 

Designed to Make the Most of Your Space

At just 11 inches high, 5.8 inches wide, and 8.4 inches deep, the Lumina I fits where larger loudspeakers simply cannot.

Its compact dimensions make it suitable for a home office, bedroom, apartment, secondary listening system, or smaller dedicated music room. Place a pair on appropriately sized speaker stands or a sturdy surface, then position them to create a convincing stereo image.

The front-facing reflex port offers additional placement flexibility when the speakers need to sit relatively close to a rear wall. As with any high-fidelity speaker, experimenting with placement and listening distance can help you achieve the best balance in your room.

The Lumina I doesn't try to dominate a space. It makes music feel at home in it.

 

The Technology Behind the Sound

Driver construction, crossover and enclosure details are drawn from Sonus faber's product documentation.

Italian Craftsmanship in Every Detail

The Lumina I embraces the materials that have defined Sonus faber's loudspeakers for decades.

A multilayer wood front baffle creates a striking contrast with the hand-applied black leather covering the cabinet's sides and top. Chrome rings surrounding the drivers add a subtle contemporary accent.

Three finishes allow the speaker to complement different interiors:

• Piano Black: High-gloss lacquer for a sleek, modern appearance.

• Wenge: Dark wood veneer with contrasting maple inlays.

• Walnut: Warm wood veneer accented by maple inlays.

Every Lumina I is manufactured in Vicenza, Italy, bringing Sonus faber's heritage of craftsmanship to a beautifully understated compact speaker.

A Small Speaker with Plenty of Possibilities

A dedicated stereo system

Pair the Lumina I with a quality integrated amplifier and network streamer to create a music system that prioritizes detail, imaging, and natural sound without requiring a large footprint.

Desktop and office listening

Its compact cabinet makes the Lumina I worth considering for a thoughtfully arranged desktop or office system. Suitable stands or isolation accessories can help position the tweeters near ear level.

A premium secondary system

Bring high-fidelity sound into a bedroom, study, or another room where floorstanding speakers would be impractical.

Home theater and surround sound

The Lumina I can serve as a compact front speaker in a smaller cinema or as a surround speaker alongside other models from the Lumina collection.

For systems that demand deeper bass or substantial movie effects, add a suitably matched subwoofer.

With 84 dB sensitivity, a nominal impedance of 4 ohms, and a recommended amplifier range of 30–100 watts, the Lumina I benefits from an amplifier that can comfortably handle a 4-ohm load.

 

Lumina I vs. Lumina II: Which Size Fits Your System?

Both speakers share Sonus faber's D.A.D. tweeter technology, Italian craftsmanship, and two-way vented-box architecture. The differences are primarily in cabinet size, midwoofer diameter, and acoustic specifications.

The Lumina I offers the smaller footprint, making it particularly attractive for space-conscious systems. The Lumina II adds a larger midwoofer and cabinet, with deeper specified bass extension and higher sensitivity.
