Larger models: the Sonus Faber Lumina II (rated 3.4/5), the Sonus Faber Lumina III (estimated 3.5/5) and the Sonus Faber Lumina V (estimated 3.6/5).
Pros: Handcrafted Italian cabinet with multilayer real-wood front baffle and leather-wrapped enclosure. Front stealth reflex port built into the plinth allows placement close to back walls or on bookshelves without port obstruction.
Cons: Low sensitivity of 84dB demands substantial amplifier power to reach moderate volumes. Limited low-end extension (65Hz) and modest dynamic headroom restrict use to smaller rooms.
