Sonus faber Electa Amator III

The Sonus Faber Electa Amator III is a two-way bookshelf speaker that carries on the Italian manufacturer's artisanal craftsmanship. It combines solid wood side panels with curved shapes and cabinetwork finished in leather on its front and rear faces, in keeping with the brand's aesthetic tradition.

A notable development is the introduction of a Carrara marble base, a material also used at the base of the stand dedicated to this speaker. The tweeter is a 28 mm fabric dome fitted with Sonus Faber's own DAD (Damped Apex Dome) technology, a phase-plug element paired with a turned wood damping chamber. This chamber is visible through the opening of the bass-reflex port at the rear of the speaker, and bears a plate engraved with the brand's logo. Bass duties are handled by a 16.5 cm woofer with a paper cone, specially developed for this model.

Frequency response spans from 40 Hz to 35 kHz, with a sensitivity of 88 dB SPL at 2.83 V. Without its stand, the speaker measures 23.5 x 37.5 x 36 cm; the dedicated stand brings the overall height to 72 cm.

This type of bookshelf speaker is aimed at enthusiasts seeking refined stereo listening in a living room or dedicated listening space, where the compact format and matching stand make integration easier. The emphasis on premium materials - solid wood, leather, marble - will particularly appeal to those who value finish as much as sound reproduction.
