What's unique about the brand
What reviewers are saying
We read all the reviews. Here's what reviewers feel most strongly about:
- Rosso Fiorentino loudspeakers are designed and handcrafted in Florence, Italy, incorporating inspiration from Renaissance art and architecture into their designs.
- The brand emphasizes a "honest" and natural sonic presentation, prioritizing a balanced frequency response and coherent soundstage over exaggerated or artificial sonic characteristics.
- Rosso Fiorentino's speaker cabinets incorporate advanced materials and construction techniques, such as constrained-layer damping, multi-layer enclosures, and strategically placed internal bracing, to minimize unwanted resonances.
Our favorite reviewer quotes:
- "Trying to figure out where there is a feeling of comfort, and the first thing that comes to mind - fusion, coherence across the spectrum, from subsonic bass to the air overtones. Particularly serious capture recording of symphonic music, the orchestra appears complicated, but it is absolutely a single organism, a subordinate general musical idea." (https://www.hifi-review.com/152748-rosso-fiorentino-volterra.html)
- "All the qualities I've attributed to the Pienza were in evidence—wonderful purity, warmth, texture, a more-than-impressive sonic vanishing act. But ultimately it was my getting lost in their performance, actually tearing up at the song's conclusion, that made me truly appreciate what Francesco Rubenni and his team have accomplished."

Our interview with the brand
What are two key technological innovations or strong opinions that differ you from other brands?
Unlike the vast majority of our competitors, who simply use others' active components, we have, from inception, March 2001, designed and manufactured our very own bespoke, proprietary drive units. The resultant filter networks are ridiculously simple. By controlling the whole process, we are able to derive the exact response from each in it's system. A little appreciated advange too, is we are able to provide spare parts for an extended period.
Any vibrating device will impart that vibration to the substrate to which it is fixed. At Vivid Audio at no time do we couple drive units to the cabinet directly, each is decoupled by a carefully selected soft, 30 shore silicone, memory free O ring. In the case of bass units, we go one step futher - in addition to the decoupling O ring, each driver is apposed by another identical bass unit in a reaction cancelling configuration. Expensive, resulting in an inert cabinet. Note the lack of visible fixing harware.
A perfect acoustic solution.
(No matter how heavy you make a loudspeaker cabinet, all one is doing is shifting the damped resonances in band. Place your ear against any loudspeaker to appreciate this. The worst case example is the ubiquitous eccentricly loaded sub woofer.)
We strive for as lower mass as possible in an extremely stiff configuration. The lower the mass, the lower the energy strorage. The same requirement as aircraft, race cars etc. There are many other unique technologies we employ, jointly presenting the cleanest window into the music. Our web page details these.

It would be foolhardy of me to send you a short list - by definition would exclude many excellent brands of which we have no knowledge. Suffice to say: Unusually, we expend an exorbitant effort in perfecting the loudspeaker / room interface, no sharp perturbations, corners, discontinuities, etc., and the loudspeaker / amplifier interface, ensuring at the minimum impedance, the current and voltage waveforms are close to being in phase - an ideal situation. Our loudspeakers present an easy load to the amplifier. Quality rather than quantity is emphasized.
