What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

Brand highlights

Taking a step back to look at reviewers' thoughts of the brand's entire lineup—not just this product—what stands out most is the following:

  • 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.

Elba:

  • Positioning: Entry-level line, designed for affordability and compactness.
  • Description: Offers a rich and warm sound with a focus on musicality, featuring a 26mm silk dome tweeter and fiberglass mid/bass drivers that extend to 40kHz. Compared to the Certaldo, it is more compact and easier to drive, making it ideal for smaller rooms and those with moderate budgets who seek a balanced sound without the need for high amplification power.

Certaldo:

  • Positioning: Mid-range line, balancing performance and design.
  • Description: Known for its honest sound and sophisticated cabinet design, using composite materials and van den Hul wiring for enhanced performance. It offers a more refined sound than the Elba, with better integration and coherence.

Volterra:

  • Positioning: High-end line, offering advanced acoustic performance.
  • Description: Features a luxurious design with leather accents and a sophisticated crossover, providing a rich and natural sound with excellent midrange clarity. It surpasses the Certaldo in tonal accuracy and dynamic range.

Our take on the brand

Rosso Fiorentino is an Italian hifi speaker brand that combines unique aesthetic elements like carbon fiber leather and real walnut veneer with proprietary cabinet damping technology using HDF, rubber, and aluminum. Their speakers are hand-built in Italy with a focus on emotional musical pleasure rather than analytical sound, featuring distinctive visual design elements that contribute to both aesthetics and acoustic performance.

Reviews

The design of the AN-J Loudspeaker, by contrast, follows an altogether different philosophy. It calls for a cabinet that complements the chosen drive units, rather than fighting against them. Instead of trying to kill the resonances, we tailor the cabinet to place them in frequency bands where they aid and enhance the operation of the drive units, culminating in a loudspeaker system that makes the most of the preceding amplifier’s output. The material choice for the cabinet is an area where a great deal of research and development has taken place. Over the years, we have tried many different materials and combinations, a time consuming endeavour culminating in the current design, which utilises the highest quality birch ply for the entire cabinet. Bracing and internal damping is kept to a minimum and strategically applied to help, not hinder the drivers.

Audio Note UK is one of Europe's largest manufacturers of valve-based audio equipment, designing and producing nearly all components in-house, including transformers and capacitors. The brand has achieved cult status among audiophiles who appreciate its minimalist, non-oversampling approach and its emphasis on musicality over technical specifications.

Product Strengths

  • Solid bass performance for a speaker of its size
  • Able to do justice to any genre of music and at realistic volume levels
  • Very easy to drive
  • Offers a balanced presentation from top to bottom with seamlessness between the woofer and tweeter
  • Started sounding like far more than a pair of 8″ two-way monitors when properly positioned along the side walls

Product Considerations

  • Achieving the best imaging and deep bass may require experimenting with toe-in and distance from corners and the back wall
  • Does not provide much forward/backward information, with the image typically stopping at the outer edge of the speakers
  • The basic 'D' model comes only in black ash veneer, while higher-end models offer more choices
  • Bass can be overblown if not adjusted properly in room placement

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • The AN-E has more bass, is easier to drive, and has a bigger presentation
  • Some may prefer the J because they find it a more taught presentation in the mid bass, as well as more "present" in the voice band

Takeaway:

The AN-J is a near full-range loudspeaker capable of articulation and organic flow, making music sound natural and engaging. If someone is looking for a communicative quality that remains consistent wherever they listen, then the AN-J could be a good fit.

/
7
Reviews

The one standmount model in the Reference series could be the only loudspeaker you ever need. A three-way model boasting KEF’s 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array with MAT™, Reference 1 Meta is capable of delivering expansive, high-performance sound that goes way beyond what its relatively compact size would suggest was possible.

KEF's signature Uni-Q technology places the tweeter in the center of the woofer to create a single point source for sound, while their Metamaterial Absorption Technology absorbs 99% of unwanted sound from the rear of the driver. Their Music Integrity Engine corrects timing errors in the speaker crossover, and their Shadow Flare technology reduces diffraction for improved detail and clarity in sound reproduction.

Expand Details

Product Strengths

  • Balanced, refined, and musical performance
  • Fine stereo imaging and a wide—beautifully focused—soundstage
  • Impressive bass power and authority for a standmount speaker
  • Excellent build quality and finish
  • Uni-Q driver produces a consistent dispersion pattern

Product Considerations

  • Demands an amplifier with plenty of power due to its low sensitivity (85dB/W/m) and 4 Ohm impedance (minimum 3.2 Ohms)
  • Dedicated stands are expensive (S-RF1)

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Vs Bowers & Wilkins 805 D4: Sounds larger-scale, more muscular, and punchy

Takeaway: The KEF Reference 1 Meta is a superb speaker combining excellent sound with clever engineering, well suited for audiophiles looking for a high-quality listening experience. It delivers an immersive and detailed soundstage.

Product Strengths

  • Adept at handling complex compositions and uncovering the finest sonic detail without losing track of the musical picture as a whole
  • Gets listeners closer than ever to the artist's intent
  • Excellent sense of detail, of boundaries naturally drawn
  • High-frequencies sound realistic and natural

Product Considerations

  • Low frequencies were somewhat lightweight
  • With such a tipped-up tweeter, the resulting sound could be too bright
  • Due to a lack of boundary reinforcement, Bowers & Wilkins speakers with top-mounted tweeters always drop off below around 5kHz

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Versus Magico A1, Magico A1 aim for pure neutrality
  • Versus Dynaudio Confidence 20, Dynaudio Confidence 20 is for listeners who just want to enjoy their music

Takeaway: The 805 D4 makes music sound very realistic and clear, almost as if you are there. It can make a small room feel big with its sound.

6
Reviews
Focal is a French hifi brand that makes their own drivers in-house, including their highly-regarded beryllium tweeters and unique slatefiber mid/bass drivers made from recycled carbon fiber. Their speakers and headphones feature distinctive technologies like their "W" sandwich cone design for optimal driver performance and Mimi Sound Personalization that adapts audio to individual hearing profiles.
Check Amazon
Expand Details

Product Strengths

  • Features a 1-inch pure beryllium inverted dome tweeter that rests inside its own chamber, which acts as a tuned resonator, and helps give the speaker its iconic profile
  • The cabinet's shape helps to mechanically time-align the two drivers and optimize the phase between them
  • Bass is firm, free of any distortion or boominess, and agile when driven correctly with a capable amplifier
  • The speaker is neutral throughout the midrange, and clear, focused, and detailed
  • Transparency to the music and resulting 3-dimensional soundstage that is boundary-defying in almost all directions, with dynamics close second only to the La Scala

Product Considerations

  • For true full-range playback, a subwoofer is required
  • The beryllium tweeter has the ability to showcase the flaws in poor recordings
  • Sound improves the more upmarket the accompanying equipment is
  • Amplification pairing is vital and can drastically change the sound
  • Placement of these speakers in different spots in the room changed the sound drastically

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • The Diablo's have more detail on tap but remain smooth and realistic, with the midrange being leaner but cleaner than the Fleetwood Deville SQ
  • The Diablo will offer everything the Sonus Faber Sopra 1 does—and even more

Takeaway: The Focal Diablo Utopia Color Evo speakers are transparent and reveal details in music with incredible imaging, making for a fun listening experience. To hear all the nuances in music, these speakers could be a great choice.

Rosso Fiorentino
Pienza
5400
/
Released
2022
The new Pienza series 2 is a mostly re-thought and re-designed system which takes the performance of our slim design bookshelf up to the next level. It definitely performs out of its physical size. It already did, but now in an even more seductive and elegant way.

Expand Details

Our Summary

Product Strengths

  • Quite a large and deep soundstage, with plenty of SPL and notably good low-end output for its size
  • Top-notch build-quality
  • A lovely, easily natural tonal balance wherein brass and winds were richly textured, warm, and convincingly fleshed out, with a fine semblance of instrumental body
  • Did not present a miniaturized 'view' of things
  • 'Wonderful purity, warmth, texture, a more-than-impressive sonic vanishing act'

Product Considerations

  • The deepest bass lost a little footing and faded when compared to some pricier two-way monitors
  • The slightly diminished slam did speak to the laws of physics that naturally apply here
  • The music more clearly sounded as if it was emanating from a smaller point source

Takeaway: The Pienza Series 2 monitors are Italian and the Italian sound is warm, open, welcoming, engaging, emotional, fun and vivacious, also they are pretty sexy to boot. The Pienza is worth buying if one wants to bond easily to the music.

  • May not be ideal for listeners who prefer a brighter, more forward sound signature or those who prioritize extreme loudness levels
  • Grilles may cause micro-rattling at moderate to loud listening levels due to weaker magnets

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Vs Totem Acoustic Manny 2 Signature: The Studio 2 has a more forgiving presentation, denser midrange, and stronger bass
  • Vs Klipsch Forte 3: The Studio 2 offers a more natural tone, especially in the midrange and upper bass, along with greater soundstage depth
  • Vs Vienna Acoustics Mozart Symphony Editions: The Studio 2 beats them in bass and midrange
  • Vs Harbeth (SHL5 and Compact 7 XTs): The Studio 2 cannot be matched by the Harbeth's articulate bass response
  • Vs Celestion SL6-S: The Studio 2 has deeper roots in the trunk, and they got high branches and leaves, but they don't go all the way up to the highest branches and leaves at the tippy top

Takeaway:

The Studio 2 is a well-built bookshelf speaker that delivers a smooth, full-range sound with surprising bass and clear imaging, making for an engaging listening experience. With the right setup and quality components, these speakers can provide years of musical enjoyment in a variety of room sizes.

Dynaudio
Focus 10
5500
/
Released
2022
Focus 10 is more than just a pair of active loudspeakers. It's a complete music system, packed from top to bottom with the technology that's taken Dynaudio to legendary status – allied with the most cutting-edge wireless features we could think of. And we thought of a lot.
Check Amazon
Dynaudio is a hifi speaker brand known for its unique external voice-coil construction, which allows for larger voice coils that improve thermal power handling and reduce thermal compression. The brand has a heritage in professional sound production and uses advanced materials like the Esotar 40 tweeter and rare 240mm drivers to deliver superior dynamic realism and headroom.
Expand Details

Our Summary

Product Strengths

  • Integrated technology allows direct high-resolution listening without extra devices
  • The speaker uses the same Pascal Class D amplification and processing technology from Dynaudio's Pro line Core series
  • Discrete amplification channel per driver: 110 watts for the tweeter and 280 watts for the woofer
  • Dirac Live room correction is available, which can tune some of the annoying sounds of a garage, for example, using the soft dome tweeter

Product Considerations

  • Running a digital coaxial cable from one speaker to the next results in the signal being sent at 24-96 kilohertz, which is a lower quality than what the master speaker receives (24-192)
  • There is no HDMI arc or e-arc connection
  • Drilling holes may be required to attach the speaker to stands
  • Setting up the speaker with the app is not as quick or seamless as Bluesound
  • A microphone is required to do Dirac room calibration

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Vs PSB Alpha IQs: Plays louder with a higher level of amplification
  • Vs Dynaudio Core 7: The Core 7 has more power and a slightly better tweeter and woofer, but is not as aesthetically pleasing and needs a Bluesound Node
  • Vs Dynaudio Evoke: It is similar to an Evoke speaker, but with a bigger woofer

Takeaway: The Focus recMsY5ljWopDD7UU is a sophisticated wireless speaker that pulls technology from Dynaudio's Pro line and features Dirac room calibration. It is ideal for someone looking for high-resolution listening without extra devices and who values sophisticated sound and aesthetics.

  • The speaker's design allows for significant room gain, providing real bass extension below 20 Hz
  • Immense potential, described to be a top shelf product

Product Considerations

  • The image was a little high
  • The speakers want power from a good amplifier to really open up
  • The listener might not always be as emotionally convinced by the result as they perhaps should have been
  • The speakers are large and may be obtrusive for most UK spaces

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • vs Paradigm Founder 120Hs: Similar to the Paradigm Founder 120Hs, which have active jumpers
  • vs RBH SVTRs: The reviewer loves the RBH SVTRs, and these new speakers are being tested to see if they can be a game changer in the industry
  • vs Spendor Classic 3-1: Arendal 1528 is neutral from top to bottom, while Spendor is warm from top to bottom
  • vs Cabasse Morano: Cabasse Morano has some coloration, but the Arendal 1528 is dead neutral

Takeaway:
