Sonus faber Electa Amator III
Our second pair of standmount speakers from Sonus faber raises the stakes from the company’s Lumina 1 at $1595 (back on page 58) to the larger of the two standmounts in the company’s luxurious Heritage Collection, the Electa Amator III. These are, as you can see, more than 10 times the price of the entry-level speaker, so they represent the heights to which the Italian brand, as well as our group of speakers this issue, can rise. What components, what construction and what sound might justify such pricing? It was, we can tell you from the off, a pleasure to find out.
The Electa Amator IIIs were originally released in 2018, designed to commemorate Sonus faber’s 35th anniversary, because despite all the loudspeakers the company has built since that time, it is on record
