Sonus Faber Homage Tradition speaker UK launch

Last week the brand new Homage Tradition speaker range from Sonus Faber were showcased at their UK launch held at Marylebone’s high-end Hi-Fi store, KJ West One in collaboration with specialist distributer Absolute Sounds.

The new Tradition range features two of the Italian company’s celebrated Homage speakers – the Amati floorstander and the Guarneri standmounts.

These have enjoyed a number of refreshes since the 90s but not for seven years now. Joining them is a brand-new 3.5 way floorstander, the Serafino.

I also managed to grab some time with the company’s all-in-one digital player, the SF16.

SF in this case could well stand for Science Fiction as I think it has all the marks of a device from a 70s sci-fi blockbuster.

The SF16 has very cool extending speakers that are at the end of carbon fibre arms.
