The Sonus faber Guarneri Memento is without doubt one of the most iconic monitor speakers ever built. Inspired by the beauty and craftsmanship of the famous Italian violin builders, the Guarneri Memento combines a timeless design with an exceptionally refined and musical representation.
This particular speaker was developed as a tribute to the legendary Guarneri Homage and represents everything Sonus faber is famous for worldwide: natural sound colours, impressive spaciousness and unprecedented attention to detail and finishing.
What is immediately striking during listening is the obviousness with which music is presented. Voices get a beautiful natural presence, instruments are displayed with rich harmonic structure and the stereo image unfolds with impressive depth and precision. The Guarneri Memento has a rare ability not only to display music, but also to make it palpable.
The carefully shaped lute-shaped housing, made of solid wood and leather, is not only a visual masterpiece, but also contributes to the exceptionally low colour of the cabinet and the natural sound balance for which the Guarneri Memento is known. In combination with the original stands, the loudspeaker forms a harmonious whole in which form and function perfectly converge.
Despite its compact dimensions, the Guarneri Memento manages to create a surprisingly mature and large sound image. The combination of speed, sophistication and emotional involvement makes him a speaker who invites to long listening sessions and who feels at home with almost every music genre.
At Highender we consider the Guarneri Memento one of the most beautiful creations in Sonus' rich history. A speaker who does not try to impress with spectacle, but presents music with elegance, credibility and an almost tangible beauty.
For those who are looking for a speaker with character, refinement and timeless class, the Sonus faber Guarneri Memento with original stands is an exceptional choice.
A true classic from the history of high-end audio.
