Sonus faber (note the small ‘f’) makes some great looking speakers. And by “great looking” I mean gorgious. Beautiful. Buy them and stick ‘em on the wall. The kind of speakers that you know are expensive.

Like these. The Sonus faber DOMUS Surround Sound System. Ultimate AV reviewed this $10,080 speaker system whose price doesn’t include speaker stands. Hmmm. This is their budget line.

For all that good looks and money, you hope that the speakers sound good. And that they do. Michael Fremer uses phrases like “the Center DOMUS produced the some of the most believable dialog I have heard yet from a home theater system”. Which is very nice to hear because I find myself understanding movie dialog less and less these days. And for overall sound Mr. Fremer says “Put it all together and with the DOMUS speakers you have a smooth-sounding high performance music and film surround sound system capable of producing the wide dynamic swings necessary to make both music and movies come convincingly alive.”

I guess that’s good…
