Introduction to the Sonus Faber Lumina V Flagship
The Sonus Faber Lumina V is the ultimate expression of the Lumina philosophy. While the collection is known for its minimalist, square design, the Lumina V introduces a revolutionary internal “lute-shaped” mid-high chamber. This design, inherited from Sonus Faber’s flagship models, ensures that this tower speaker delivers a performance that far exceeds its sleek, modern exterior.
Handcrafted in Vicenza, Italy, the Sonus Faber Lumina V is designed for the audiophile who wants a “no-compromise” floorstander. It provides a guaranteed upgrade in scale, bass extension, and detail, making it the centerpiece of any high-end stereo or home cinema system.
The Flagship Advantage: Dual 6.5-Inch Woofers
What separates the Sonus Faber Lumina V from its smaller siblings is the sheer displacement of its low-frequency section. By utilizing two high-output 165mm (6.5-inch) woofers, this speaker provides a subterranean bass response that is both felt and heard.
Subterranean Bass Extension
The Sonus Faber Lumina V reaches deep into the low frequencies, providing the “weight” and “impact” required for large-scale orchestral works and modern cinematic soundtracks.
Dynamic Headroom
Thanks to its larger cabinet volume and dual-woofer array, the Sonus Faber Lumina V maintains absolute composure even at high volumes. This high level of dynamic headroom ensures that the sound remains transparent and distortion-free, regardless of the complexity of the music.
The “Voice of Sonus Faber” Acoustic Technology
The Sonus Faber Lumina V utilizes premium driver technology migrated from the brand’s world-renowned Sonetto collection.
Damped Apex Dome (DAD) Tweeter
High frequencies are managed by a 29mm silk dome tweeter. The proprietary DAD technology damps the apex of the dome to eliminate anti-phase behavior, ensuring the Sonus Faber Lumina V delivers silky-smooth, airy highs.
Natural Fiber Midrange
The dedicated 150mm (6-inch) midrange driver is crafted from a custom blend of natural fibers and air-dried cellulose pulp. In the Sonus Faber Lumina V, this ensures a warm, organic midrange—the core of the legendary “Voice of Sonus Faber.”
Lute-Shaped Internal Engineering and Design
The Sonus Faber Lumina V features a unique internal design that sets it apart from typical square cabinets.
- Internal Mid-High Chamber: A lute-shaped internal chamber reduces standing waves and improves the clarity of the mid-to-high frequencies.
- Signature Leather Wrap: The cabinet is wrapped in fine black leather, a hallmark of Sonus Faber luxury that helps dampen resonance.
- Stealth Reflex Port: The Sonus Faber Lumina V uses a bottom-firing “Stealth Reflex” port. This makes the speaker less sensitive to wall placement, allowing for consistent bass in various room layouts.
