    Great questions asked by Audio Excellence - amazingly open and candid responses by Paolo Tezzon, he shared some of the most insightful and meaningful information about speaker design that I've ever been exposed to - I also liked his open responses about other speaker designs outside the Sonus Faber family that he admires - - this is great work, thanks Paolo & Audio Excellence!

    Paolo Tezzon was Sonus faber to me. I wish he was still with Sonus faber. A brilliant mind and a great person.

    That hour has just flown by. Paolo is so open about his work and humble with it.
    I have just bought a pair of Olympica Nova 1’s. I couldn’t be more happy!

    I’m always impressed when I hear someone speak English as their second language. It’s so very difficult, well done Paolo! He comes across as an incredibly bright and classy individual. Today, I just purchased my first pair of SF speakers. After demoing the Sonetto lll’s for three days in my home with a tube amp and a tube pre, I pulled the trigger. It’s the compact floor stander (for small to medium sized rooms) and it’s incredibly musical, balanced from top to bottom and I love the tweet. I was amazed at how well it does digital! Moving from a metal, extended Focal tweeter to a sweet sounding silk-dome (non-fatiguing) tweeter. Beautiful midrange and low end is quick, punchy and tonally correct. Might not hit the lowest octaves but very satisfying w/o a sub. I love it! Even got a thumbs-up from the wife, digging the piano black Sonetto’s!

    Thank you both for this absolutely riveting and lovely interview. I am blessed to own a pristine pair of Guarneri Homage, production date 2004. Franco Serblin was indeed a genius as Mr. Tezzon so respectfully observed, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be the current caretaker of these marvelous musical instruments.

    The vídeo was long but I have swallowed it from beginning to end because the information given by this talented man was extraordinarily interesting and very honest, bravo. I've heard, or better said listened and enjoyed the Aidas series 1 with momentum amplification and wow, the sound was totally natural, it seemed that that sound had no high treble or boom bass until the recording compelled the electronics and the speakers to cover from the most cristalline highs to the more thunderous frequencies available. Memorable, that was maybe 3 or 4 years ago but the impression keeps in my mind.

    First, THANK YOU! What a delight to hear from Paolo, someone from 'my' generation paying homage to the beginnings of modern hi-fi and, at the same time, designing remarkable loudspeakers based on cutting-edge tech. Having been fortunate to learn from the late Bobby Palkovich (Merlin Music Systems) in my teenage years, I now realize how I miss learning about the application of a balance between science and instinct - how, done right, can be magical. Really, thank you for making this available to us all. I enjoy all of your 'shows', but this hit home in a very meaningful way.

    Awesome !
    Can you transfer that guy the link to the youtube channel guy that fix his faulty / cornered / sloppy high price products ?
    It's looks simple to do if you have some basic electronics skills - nothing a world class speaker maker like him can't do easily on himself !
    Be blessed, healthy and prosper.

    Facinating is that Sonus faber & Fabio, gave a future of company and all products in hands of someone who is not engineer and had only two years to learn all things Fabio done and learned in almost lifetime.
