EN.
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 finished to a high standard according to Sonus Faber's specifications. Only natural materials are used for the cabinet and the units. The cabinet itself is a small, square design finished on all sides with genuine leather. The front panel is available in several finishes, namely high-gloss black, or genuine wood veneer in dark Wenge or the lighter Walnut finish. Both the tweeter and woofer are made from natural materials; the 4 inch woofer is made from 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. Surrounding both the tweeter and woofer is a soft material that reduces radiation to the sides, with a beautiful chrome ring around it which is purely for design purposes. The whole thing simply looks magnificent. The bass reflex port of the Sonus Faber Lumina I is located on the front, making the Sonus Faber Lumina I very easy to position, even if you place them close to the rear wall.

Listening : The Sonus Faber Lumina I is a very special compact speaker; in terms of size not much larger than an average shoebox, yet it manages to fill the room with music in a very high-quality manner. The bass is also far better than you would expect from a speaker of this size. You can truly 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 very good; 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 in it. The Sonus Faber Lumina I sounds exciting, engaging and intriguing without ever crossing the irritation threshold or causing listener fatigue.

Conclusion : The Sonus Faber Lumina I is, as reviewers say: "a wolf in sheep's clothing". And that's exactly what it is. Don't base your opinion on the small size of the Sonus Faber Lumina I, but instead come and listen to the impressive sound that these special compact monitors can deliver. Certainly for the money you pay for these hand-built speakers from Italy, there is little to no competition with similar, let alone better, performance. The Sonus Faber Lumina I is very suitable for use as a stereo pair, but they can also be excellently used in surround installations.
