The Heritage Collection Maxima Amator is a pure distillation of what Sonus Faber is all about: beautiful objects that re-create beautiful music.
As the third member of the Heritage family, we pay homage to our Italian roots
and to our artisans as well as the people who are responsible for developing Sonus Faber products.
Completely Made in Italy, Maxima Amator is a project started many years ago and abandoned because considered impossible. Today, we achieve that dream: a two-way floor stander concept applied to a solid wood cabinet.

Sonus Faber’s target audience for its Heritage Collection, and for the Maxima Amator in particular, is not audiophiles who are cross-shopping designs from Focal, Magico, and/or Wilson Audio Specialties. This is an artisanal loudspeaker. The marriage of so many materials—solid walnut, leather, brass, marble—into such an evocative form gives the Sonus Faber a presence and a gravitas that are difficult to describe. It’s also a very good loudspeaker, with admirable output down to 35Hz, and a commendably linear, uncolored mid band.
