General : The Sonus Faber Lumina I is the smallest speaker from Sonus Faber, but it possesses great qualities.

Technical : The Sonus Faber Lumina I is manufactured to the highest standard of Sonus Faber. Only natural materials are used for the cabinet and the units. The cabinet itself is a small, square enclosure finished on all sides with genuine leather. The front is available in various finishes, namely high-gloss black, or genuine wood veneer dark Wenge or the lighter Walnut finish. Both the tweeter and woofer are made from natural materials, the 4 inch woofer is made of paper composite and the tweeter is an iconic D.A.D. (Damped Apex Dome) 29mm Kurtmüller silk dome tweeter which is also used in the higher Sonetto series from Sonus Faber. Around both the tweeter and woofer is a soft material that reduces radiation to the sides, surrounded by a beautiful chrome ring which is purely for design. The overall appearance is simply stunning. The bass reflex port of the Sonus Faber Lumina I is located on the front, which makes the Sonus Faber Lumina I very easy to place, even if you position them close to the rear wall.

Listening : The Sonus Faber Lumina I is a very special small speaker, in size not much larger than the average shoebox, yet it manages to fill the room with music in a very high-quality manner. The bass is many times better than you would expect from a speaker of this size. You can really hear the Sonus Faber character in the Lumina I. This means you get a beautiful and spacious soundstage, with naturally sounding voices and instruments with slightly warm undertones. The Sonus Faber Lumina I is also rhythmically excellent, the sound is fast and open and all details are clearly audible and the separation of multiple voices or instruments is also very distinct. In short, the Sonus Faber Lumina I articulates excellently and lets you enjoy the entire recording and everything that happens within it. The Sonus Faber Lumina I sounds exciting, compelling and intriguing without ever crossing the irritation threshold or inducing listener fatigue.

Conclusion : The Sonus Faber Lumina I is, as reviewers say, "a wolf in sheep's clothing". And that is truly the case. Do not base your opinion on the small size of the Sonus Faber Lumina I, but instead come listen to the grand sound these special compact monitors can produce. Certainly for the price you pay for these hand-built Italian speakers, there is little to no competition with comparable, let alone better, performance. The Sonus Faber Lumina I is very suitable to use as a stereo set, but they can also be used excellently in surround setups.
