SONUS FABER STRADIVARI G2 40th ANNIVERSARY RED

The Sonus Faber Stradivari G2 40th Anniversary is a handcrafted three-and-a-half-way floorstanding speaker made entirely in Italy as an exclusive tribute to the great master luthier Antonio Stradivari and to Sonus Faber’s 40th anniversary. Produced in a limited edition of 120 pairs, each speaker features a commemorative plaque highlighting its uniqueness. This model combines refined design with top-tier audio technology, offering a frequency response from 25 Hz to 35 kHz and a sensitivity of 92 dB SPL (2.83V/1 m). Its nominal impedance is 4 Ohms, while the recommended amplifier power ranges from 100 to 600 Watts, ensuring optimal performance in any environment.

The cabinet design draws inspiration from the famous baffle with a wide latitudinal surface but is reinterpreted into a pentagonal shape that allows the integration of innovative technologies. The entire speaker is wrapped in a precious wood finish, giving it an elegant aesthetic and exclusive character. The internal structure is strategically reinforced to eliminate any resonance and standing waves, while the Intono technology mechanically harmonizes the internal volumes of the separate chambers dedicated to the tweeter and midrange, ensuring a linear, precise, and phase-coherent sound reproduction.

The speaker system includes a 28 mm soft dome D.A.D. tweeter with a silk membrane, tripod phase plug, and neodymium magnet, capable of offering wide dispersion and impeccable control of high frequencies even at high volumes. The 150 mm midrange uses a membrane made of cellulose pulp and natural fibers (kapok and kenaf), combined with a Phase Plug Damping Ring phase plug that improves transparency and uniformity of the sound response while simplifying the crossover. The two 220 mm woofers feature a sandwich cone made of syntactic foam and cellulose pulp, a neodymium dual motor, ultra-light CCAW dual coils, suspension optimized through Finite Element Method (F.E.M.), and an asymmetrical, resonance-free basket designed to minimize unwanted vibrations.

The Clepsydra reflex technology, with its hourglass geometry and down-firing floor emission, guarantees deep and controlled bass extension, facilitating flexible speaker placement in the room. The LFA (Low Frequency Adjust) system allows easy bass response tuning through a four-pin configurable plate, without introducing resistive elements that could alter the signal.

The hybrid resonance-free crossover, visible through a window on the rear panel, features crossover frequencies at 160 Hz, 220 Hz, and 2200 Hz, built with the highest-quality components such as Jantzen inductors, Mundorf resistors, and Clarity Cap capacitors customized for Sonus Faber. It integrates patented Paracross Topology and IFF (Interactive Fusion Filtering) technologies along with the Phase Coherent philosophy to guarantee perfect phase alignment and an engaging, detailed soundstage.

The Sonus Faber Stradivari G2 40th Anniversary is completed with a double set of connectors for bi-wiring and bi-amping, an adjustable conical spike base with floor protectors, and a refined finish featuring a seven-layer Red lacquer, genuine leather inserts, and satin black aluminum profiles. Its dimensions are 715 x 1374 x 428 mm, weighing 63 kg, making it not only an extraordinary high-performance speaker but also a true work of art celebrating the tradition and innovation of Italian sound craftsmanship.
