Overview
Many years later, we are filled with pride to see that, just as the supreme Maestro of stringed instruments, Giuseppe Guarneri, known as 'del Gesù' - to whom this loudspeaker pays tribute - left an indelible mark on the history of stringed instrument making thanks to the unique tone of his violins, the Guarneri, inspired by the shape of stringed instruments, has represented the beginning of a completely new way of conceiving the loudspeaker.
This is the genesis of Guarneri Memento - from the Latin memini, meminisse: memory, remember, to remember something clearly - a loudspeaker which is a synthesis of tradition and innovation, created with the intention of offering the soul of music the chance to reveal itself in all its magnificent coherence, fluidity and harmony.
A renewal matured by rediscovering the core values of the Sonus faber sound.
