The Man Behind The Sound Of Sonus Faber

[@skip1835]

Great questions asked by Audio Excellence - amazingly open and candid responses by Paolo Tezzon, he shared some of the most insightful and meaningful information about speaker design that I've ever been exposed to - I also liked his open responses about other speaker designs outside the Sonus Faber family that he admires - - this is great work, thanks Paolo & Audio Excellence!

[@robertlouis24]

I am speechless - what an honour - such profound insights from such a humble man - lovely interview - thanks for sharing...

I’m always impressed when I hear someone speak English as their second language. It’s so very difficult, well done Paolo! He comes across as an incredibly bright and classy individual. Today, I just purchased my first pair of SF speakers. After demoing the Sonetto lll’s for three days in my home with a tube amp and a tube pre, I pulled the trigger. It’s the compact floor stander (for small to medium sized rooms) and it’s incredibly musical, balanced from top to bottom and I love the tweet. I was amazed at how well it does digital! Moving from a metal, extended Focal tweeter to a sweet sounding silk-dome (non-fatiguing) tweeter. Beautiful midrange and low end is quick, punchy and tonally correct. Might not hit the lowest octaves but very satisfying w/o a sub. I love it! Even got a thumbs-up from the wife, digging the piano black Sonetto’s!

planing to get sonetto 2 what amps valve amps do you have im planing to get valves later first with my existing transistor integrated.

[@keeferdog5617]

@@steveee2511 It doesn’t matter, Steve. SF speakers have great synergy with tube amps. I was running PrimaLuna…

The vídeo was long but I have swallowed it from beginning to end because the information given by this talented man was extraordinarily interesting and very honest, bravo. I've heard, or better said listened and enjoyed the Aidas series 1 with momentum amplification and wow, the sound was totally natural, it seemed that that sound had no high treble or boom bass until the recording compelled the electronics and the speakers to cover from the most cristalline highs to the more thunderous frequencies available. Memorable, that was maybe 3 or 4 years ago but the impression keeps in my mind.

This story very closely mirrors my passionate pursuit of growing .. in this way .. with Paradigm Speakers.. And fortunately .. I was just hired with them. I cannot wait to learn everything ..and open a few doors. .. Incredible story.. interview. Thank you!! =)

[@spacehopper999]

That hour has just flown by. Paolo is so open about his work and humble with it. I have just bought a pair of Olympica Nova 1’s. I couldn’t be more happy!

[@Kingsleyjamesflint]

I have Cremonas, which I love. Great interview and so nice to hear the straight line in development from the first speakers, the homage he pays to Franco Serblin, the genius who started it all. Thank you, most enjoyable and informative.

[@kecapmanis4191]

A very interesting interview, especially on topic of human hearing. He disclosed quite amount of in house tailoring of Sonus Faber sound signature.

[@bkatbamna]

I don't own any of Sonus Faber speakers but audio is lucky to have people this passionate working in audio.

[@J.K.Saimaja]

I have Sonus Faber Elipsa speakers and this was great interview to watch

[@tms372]

Wonderful interview. His words about Franco were riveting ( A genius ).

[@chrisdewey384]

First, THANK YOU! What a delight to hear from Paolo, someone from 'my' generation paying homage to the beginnings of modern hi-fi and, at the same time, designing remarkable loudspeakers based on cutting-edge tech. Having been fortunate to learn from the late Bobby Palkovich (Merlin Music Systems) in my teenage years, I now realize how I miss learning about the application of a balance between science and instinct - how, done right, can be magical. Really, thank you for making this available to us all. I enjoy all of your 'shows', but this hit home in a very meaningful way.

[@tubemenow2007]

Paolo Tezzon was Sonus faber to me. I wish he was still with Sonus faber. A brilliant mind and a great person.

[@bigjay1970]

Well that was a phenomenal interview even better than watching an Andrew Jones one that's pretty good!😎

[@dilbyjones]

Big Jay lol

[@Chuchitabletuh6xj]

I have the Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario with the graphite finnish. I love them, they will never be sold. For me the best sounding speakers i have heard. The opitics and quality build are stunning as well.

[@garysergeant9086]

Dear I say such a beautiful interview.Thanks Adrian and Paolo

[@venessian3954]

Roba fantastica! So great, so interesting: thank you both AEC and Sig. Tezzon.

[@vicg5323]

wonderful interview. Very insightful.

[@djordjegitaric4044]

I loveI love way how Mr Tezzon, talking about developing a product... I've been making prototypes since 10 years and recently I started to work on loudspeakers design... It's nice to see that someone has similar energy and passion for that :)

[@dilbyjones]

Yes DIY, love they focus on listening fatigue free!

[@alb.1911]

Fantastic interview, so much inside about the projects...

[@overijsemuenster9665]

What a nice and informative interview. Thanks.

[@nyrep1]

great interview but as an aspiring sf owner i was really hoping he would mention the new sonettos since they are basically being called olympica jr's and years better than the venerre

[@keeferdog5617]

@nyrep1 If you’re still an aspiring owner of the Sonetto’s message me. I’d be happy to help you, with any questions, as I just purchased a pair of Sonetto’s on Friday.

[@nareshnarasimhan9774]

It would great to have a follow on interview in 2024 with the the success of Lumina series.

[@americana1544]

Excellent interview !! World class Q & A !

[@Blacksheep1042]

Awesome ! Can you transfer that guy the link to the youtube channel guy that fix his faulty / cornered / sloppy high price products ? It's looks simple to do if you have some basic electronics skills - nothing a world class speaker maker like him can't do easily on himself ! Be blessed, healthy and prosper.

[@milanese001]

what a great interview, thx

[@robgallos4669]

Wow. What a fascinating interview. So informative.

Living my dream..

[@forbeginnersandbeyond6089]

I’m a proud owner of a pair of Sonus Faber Concerto.

[@sanonmars]

Great. Are their entry level Chamelion Towers good compared to other other brands at that range of price of 2000$? If I am considering it over Evo 4.4 at that price.

[@Ferrywijaya30]

Excellent!

[@tomislavgasparic8100]

Facinating is that Sonus faber & Fabio, gave a future of company and all products in hands of someone who is not engineer and had only two years to learn all things Fabio done and learned in almost lifetime. 🤔🤔 I don't say is not true, but...hmm

[@PG-PCW]

Really like Sonus Faber but never heard something so good as the Wilson Audio speakers.

[@RobertKohut]

Nice!!

[@bijupoonoor3641]

[@KennyCampbell101]

Why did he leave Sonus Faber in 2022?

[@SinusPrimus]

Not bad. 😉😎👍

[@showkatmehmoodlenin]

This interview made me buy a pair of Sonus Faber 😊

[@sanonmars]

Which model did you buy? Is entry level Chamelion good compared to other brands at that range of price?

[@showkatmehmoodlenin]

@@sanonmars .. A pair from the lumina series

[@joshuabrumback9681]

I don't know from experience but from what I've gathered from reviewers, sonus faber is 70% looks and 30% sound quality

[@Skye_the_toller]

You should look for more good reviewers…
