Sonus faber has unveiled its new entry-level line Principia collection, comprising five passive loudspeakers – two bookshelf, two floorstanding and one centre channel speaker.Sonus states the collection is “designed for those who are seeking a simple hi-fi solution but with a definite Italian touch at an affordable price – all without giving up on perfect music reproduction”.
“In both its shape and name, Principia embodies the idea of a beginning, a foundation, a primary element: plain and essential lines, like the ones that define the speaker’s design, and a name that stands for one’s starting point and entry in the high-end world,” Sonus states.

“Principia collection is a great solution for many different listening needs, meeting the requirements of stereo as well as multichannel home theatre systems in both small and large rooms,” Sonus states.
The Principia collection will debut in Europe and Asia and then in the US, beginning in June.
