A Masterpiece of Sound and Design
The Il Cremonese is the pinnacle of Sonus Faber’s craftsmanship, blending scientific research with artistic passion to honour Antonio Stradivari’s timeless legacy. Named after Stradivari’s 1715 violin masterpiece, this extraordinary speaker embodies the same pursuit of acoustic perfection, delivering a rich, balanced, and agile sound that mirrors the qualities of its namesake.
Acoustic Innovation Meets Timeless Design
The Il Cremonese showcases Sonus Faber’s meticulous craftsmanship, with each transducer housed in a perfectly tailored acoustic environment. Premium materials, including open-cell foam and piano-grade insulation, ensure flawless sound reproduction across all frequencies.
Inspired by the Lilium, the Rhomboidal Diamond Design enhances structural integrity with sleek, elegant lines, while Damper Shelves in Avional alloy absorb vibrations for pristine audio clarity. The custom SW 22 XT-08 infra-woofer delivers exceptional low-frequency power, and the DAD 28 XTR-04 tweeter offers smooth, resonance-free high frequencies with striking precision.
More than a speaker, Il Cremonese embodies Sonus Faber’s dedication to blending art and technology, delivering unparalleled performance and timeless beauty for the ultimate listening experience.
