Sonus faber Serafino Tradition
Floorstanding LoudspeakerProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Serafino Tradition is a high-end floorstanding loudspeaker in Sonus faber's Homage Tradition series, which is a 21st-century retake of the company's most iconic loudspeaker series in history, the Homage collection.
The handcrafted loudspeaker features "Stealth Ultraflex" system. Its external part at the back panel controls the flow of air, reducing any turbulence and hence distortion. The transducers in the speakers are derived directly from the Il Cremonese series and have been further developed for an exclusive and unique design.
The Serafino Tradition features "Silent Spikes", coaxial meta/elastomer/metal spikes which reinterpret the classic patented ZVT (Zero Vibration Transmission) system. The lute shape of the cabinets is the result of meticulous research and industrial design. This design allows the cabinet to control internal resonances better.
Three other loudspeakers in this series include the flagship floorstander, Amati Tradition, a bookshelf, Guarneri Tradition, and a central channel, Vox Tradition.

- Great build quality
Cons

Reviewer score 96% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Sonus Faber Serafino Tradition have a warm, robust, and forgiving presentation. Vocals, especially, practically glow through these loudspeakers. The Red finish is extraordinary, but the Wengè just blew me away. This is like being able to drive a Maserati — it’s better.
Pros
- Impressive build quality
- Excellent sound quality
- Great battery life
Cons
- Slightly over-performer for a non-damped room
