Sonus Faber Liuto Monitor Standmount Speakers / Liuto Stands – Black

Here we have a pair of Liuto loudspeakers, plus a pair of their dedicated stands, from Italian company Sonus faber. They are finished to the company’s usual impeccable standard but do have some minor cosmetic blemishes – please refer to our photographs. They will be supplied in original factory packaging along with our standard three monh warranty.
Sonus faber Said….
The most authentic expression of a two-way loudspeaker system that delivers faithful, natural, defined reproduction. Fine-tuning “by ear” has produced a filter network that respects the criteria of maximum circuit simplicity and purity, in line with the tradition laid down by the historic Sonus faber mini-loudspeakers. At the same time it highlights the meticulous restyling of this new project.
The Monitor provides a highly evocative performance of coherence, tonal fidelity and overall musicality that lets the listener “forget” the laws of physics.
Performance by speakers in this category reaches a new standard of excellence.
