The Sonus Faber Maxima Amator are amongst the most beautiful loudspeakers around. Come and see for yourself! Listen, look and enjoy. Solid walnut cabinets with hand stretched leather, with a display window for the crossover all add up to a truly gorgeous loudspeaker.

Maxima Amator marks the fruition of a concept born in our past that waited for the technology capable of realizing it. An idea almost abandoned as impossible, the Maxima Amator is Sonus faber’s first two-way floorstanding speaker crafted from a solid wood cabinet.

As the third member of the Heritage family, Sonus faber pay homage to their Italian roots and to their artisans as well as the people who are responsible for developing their products. Completely made in Italy, the Maxima Amator is a project started many years ago and abandoned because it was considered impossible. Today, they achieve that dream: a two-way floor stander concept applied to a solid wood cabinet.

Although current computer simulation technologies played an instrumental role in development, Sonus faber’s value on the Human Touch guides the belief that a skilled ear is still the ultimate judge of perfection. The final stage of the fundamental ‘tuning by ear’ process was performed in Sonus faber’s Research and Development listening room, leading the team to identify the perfect tonal balance of the project.

In crafting the Maxima Amator, meticulous attention was given to the cabinet’s interior, which is divided into three distinct chambers. In the first, acoustic volume is precisely optimized using advanced simulations and a new damping material. The second chamber enhances stability and minimizes unwanted resonances by lowering the system’s center of gravity. The third chamber, located externally, houses the crossover, shielding it from any vibrations generated by the speakers in the acoustic chamber.
