Sonus faber Maxima Amator ... beauty incarnate

As the third member of the Heritage family, the Maxima pays homage to it's Italian roots and to the national artisans as well as the people who are responsible for developing Sonus faber products. Completely Made in Italy, Maxima Amator is a project initially started many years ago and abandoned because considered impossible. Today, they achieve that dream: a two-way floor stander concept applied to a solid wood cabinet.

 

The two-way design has been a strong piece of brand identity for Sonus faber products. In general, hi-fi enthusiasts deem the two-way loudspeaker system as one of the purest systems achievable. For this reason, the Maxima Amator serves as the glorification of successfully merging two speakers to achieve a unique emotion with the maximum representation of the ``Voice of Sonus faber” – a goal to achieve natural sound.

 

Heart and Brain ... The solid wood is a living material that continuously changes over time. Due to this, the Maxima Amator’s large cabinet had to be meticulously studied and fine-tuned to avoid the risk of deformation or breakage as the wood ages. Sonus faber was able to overcome this limit thanks to modern wood drying methods, use of internal structural ribs fixed with flexible glues, and new CNC methods that allow us to maintain a tighter tolerance compared to that of the past. After the cabinet’s studies and the drivers’ selection, they focused on defining the perfect tonal balance of the project. The result is the IFF Crossover “Interactive Fusion Filtering” the perfect sonic performance beyond their proven classic implementations. This is the heart and the brain of Maxima Amator that allows the loudspeaker to to obtain a total fusion of the two drivers for an extremely natural and fluid sound reproduction.
