Timeless Icon Reimagined

The Guarneri G5 stand-mount speaker represents the pinnacle of Sonus Faber’s craftsmanship and acoustic innovation. Now in its fifth generation, this iconic model pays homage to over 30 years of evolution within the Homage Collection. Seamlessly blending traditional Italian artistry with state-of-the-art technology, the Guarneri G5 is a masterpiece of form and function.

Guarneri G5 – Elegance and Innovation in Harmony

The Guarneri G5 reimagines Sonus Faber’s iconic stand-mount speaker, combining timeless design with advanced technology. Its signature lute-shaped cabinet, inspired by mid-century Italian design and the "Dolce Vita" era, is enhanced with smooth, rounded metalwork and an anodised grey finish, blending classic and contemporary elements.

Beneath its refined exterior lies cutting-edge acoustic innovation. A new phase plug optimises airflow for a smoother frequency response, while the enhanced 150mm mid-woofer delivers deeper bass with reduced distortion. FEM-optimised surrounds ensure controlled excursion under high pressure, and the advanced crossover integrates Paracross Topology™ and Interactive Fusion Filtering™ for seamless driver alignment and a vivid three-dimensional soundstage.

The Guarneri G5 is perfectly paired with its dedicated stands, which provide stability and aesthetic cohesion, completing the elegant design. As a defining piece of the Homage Collection, it represents Sonus Faber’s commitment to blending artistry and technology, delivering a truly immersive listening experience.

Refined Design

The Guarneri G5 retains the classic lute-shaped cabinet, inspired by the elegance of mid-century Italian design and the Viva Aquarama water vessel of the “Dolce Vita” era. Updated metalwork replaces angled edges with smooth, rounded contours, and the anodised grey finish brings a contemporary touch. Together, these design refinements enhance the speaker's visual and tactile experience.

Cutting-Edge Acoustic Technology

The Guarneri G5 introduces groundbreaking advancements in driver performance and crossover design:

  • New Phase Plug: Discovered through advanced computer simulations, the innovative damping ring optimises airflow, minimising turbulence and improving wave propagation. The result is a smoother frequency response with exceptional clarity across all listening angles.

  • Enhanced Mid-Woofer: The 150mm mid-woofer features improved resonance tuning, reduced to 15Hz, and a purpose-built neodymium motor system for controlled excursion. This optimisation delivers deeper bass extension without distortion, redefining performance in its category.

  • FEM-Optimised Surround: The Finite Element Method (FEM) approach has refined the form, material, and thickness of the Bimax spider and rubber surround. This design supports greater excursion under higher pressures while maintaining optimal pliability, ensuring unmatched bass clarity and control.

Custom Matching Stands

Designed to complement the Guarneri G5 perfectly, the matching Guarneri G5 Stands provide both stability and aesthetic harmony. Crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail, the stands enhance the speakers' overall performance while reflecting the elegance of the Homage Collection.

Next-Generation Crossover Design

Sonus Faber’s innovative hybrid crossover combines Paracross Topology™ and Interactive Fusion Filtering™, incorporating the finest components from Jantzen, Clarity Caps, and Mundorf. The phase-coherent driver array ensures perfect time alignment and phase accuracy across all drivers, creating a three-dimensional soundstage with extraordinary realism. The Guarneri G5 delivers Sonus Faber’s signature Natural Sound with remarkable precision and immersion.

A Testament to Heritage

Every aspect of the Guarneri G5 reflects Sonus Faber’s commitment to craftsmanship and innovation. From its elegant design and luxurious materials to its advanced acoustic engineering, the Guarneri G5 elevates the home music reproduction experience, embodying the brand’s dedication to creating a sound that moves and inspires.
