The Revival of Sonus faber Homage Collection

Exciting news in the HiFi world: Sonus faber just announced the revival of its iconic and award-winning Homage Collection! Yes! What was already incredible and top-of-the-line gets now even better! 

Quoting Will Kline, Sonus faber’s brand manager in the US, the brand was “able to go back to the most iconic speakers in the industry, the Amati and the whole family associated with it, and improve upon it so dramatically while still maintaining everything that we love about it!”

Sonus faber kept three main things in mind when working on the extension of the Homage collection:

HERITAGE

The new products celebrate Italian artisanship and the heritage brand’s roots. Taking note from master artisans throughout the centuries - Andrea Amati, Santo Serafino, and Giuseppe Guarneri - Homage pays tribute to the titans of music history and the musical instruments that inspired the collection’s creation.

TECHNOLOGY

Sonus faber did not hold back when implementing new processes, new technics, new software, and new engineering devices. They brought the “A” game, with a new cabinet structure, new porting system, new drivers, new phase plug, dual voice coil, and of course, tying it all together, a new crossover network. The new models also feature the brand’s latest INTONO technology and the latest innovation in woofer design. 

For more in-depth information about all the new technologies and how they differ from the previous Homage collection, watch our Gramophone LIVE! Featuring Will Kline! 

DESIGN

This newest generation connects old-world artisanship with contemporary elegance! The collection’s iconic wood lute-shaped cabinets are now available in three gorgeous finishes: RED, WENGE, and GRAPHITE.

The award-winning Homage collection enters the next generation showcased in the premiere of 4 new products:

Vox adds an additional mid-range driver so it doesn't have to work as hard to be able to fill an overall theater space, delivering a perfect transition from a center channel to left and right.

To put it bluntly, Homage fuses modern artistry with cutting-edge innovation and trailblazing technology, elevating the listening experience to new heights and bringing the sensation of live music to every listening space!
