SONUS FABER LUMINA AMATOR II

The Lumina II Amator is a passive bookshelf speaker that builds upon and enhances the winning features of its predecessor, the Lumina II, delivering superior sound performance thanks to an updated crossover technology. The evocative name “Amator” has long been associated with Sonus Faber’s special models, becoming synonymous with uniqueness and an emotional, immersive listening experience that conveys deep passion to every enthusiast. Manufactured at the Vicenza facility, this speaker stands out for its use of Sonus Faber’s iconic materials such as wood and leather, which add warmth and aesthetic authenticity. Its design is simple and squared, enriched by new lacquered wood front panels with 45-degree grain patterns, lending an elegant and refined touch.

The crossover of the Lumina II Amator draws on experience gained from the Homage collection and incorporates technological solutions also found in special models like the Amati G5 and Guarneri G5, thus ensuring a significant evolution in sound quality. Thanks to new filters with a crossover frequency shifted to 2600 Hz—800 Hz higher than the Lumina II—the entire listening experience reaches new levels of clarity and precision. Lumina II Amator celebrates Sonus Faber’s tradition, reinterpreting it as a minimalist, modern masterpiece entirely crafted in Italy.

The D.A.D. (Damped Apex Dome) tweeter, identical to the one used in the Sonetto series, features a 29 mm soft silk dome painstakingly hand-coated by Kurtmueller. Chrome rings surrounding the drivers emphasize their shape and proportions, adding brightness and a carefully crafted aesthetic to the front baffle. To ensure faithful and detailed reproduction, Lumina II Amator is equipped with a 4-inch midwoofer developed specifically for this collection, characterized by a custom basket and a diaphragm made of cellulose pulp blended with other natural fibers. The FF circuitry and phase-coherent operation guarantee a three-dimensional rendering of the virtual soundstage, while the new filters improve definition and enable a rigorous, coherent reproduction of every musical nuance.
