Explore High-Performance Solutions for Audio in Limited Spaces 

Over the years, we’ve expanded the reach of our home technology services, but high-performance audio is still the heart and soul of our business. Nothing is more exciting than exposing people to nuisances in their favorite recordings they had no idea existed. We take extra pleasure in educating our clients in the St. Louis Metro area and throughout the Midwest that high-end audio is possible in any space. 

Though we specialize in expansive residences, we also work in apartments, condos, and retirement homes with unique limitations. As Sonus Faber dealers, we offer a wide range of speaker models to meet their needs. In particular, we’ve found that their latest wireless Duetto model is perfect for delivering crystal-clear sound in smaller environments. 

This blog highlights some common challenges of adding hi-fi systems to small spaces and showcases why Duetto is often our go-to solution.

The Challenges of High-End Audio in Small Spaces 

Some key problems exist when integrating high-performance sound in smaller spaces. First, there’s the lack of space for speakers and equipment. Traditional loudspeakers take up considerable space and could quickly overwhelm a small area. That’s why it’s best to opt for either architectural (in-ceiling and in-wall) or bookshelf speakers. 

In retrofit installations, you must consider wiring constraints. Is it worth creating a web of wires or tearing down walls to add cabling? In those cases, we’d recommend opting for wireless options instead. Finally, smaller spaces pose a big challenge due to their room acoustics. So, while some clients think high-end speakers aren’t worth it in a small area, it’s where they’ll likely have the biggest impact. The key is to find trusted audio manufacturers that offer solutions for smaller applications. 

How Sonus Faber’s Duetto Model Can Help 

Enter the Sonus Faber Duetto Model, a compact and elegant bookshelf speaker that includes all of the company’s advanced audio technologies. It uses the same iconic materials as its flagship loudspeakers, including wood, paper, and silk, to deliver crisp sound. The Duetto comes in Walnut and Graphite finishes, making it a stylistic choice for any room. 

The Duetto is the latest addition to Sonus Faber’s wireless lines, allowing you to seamlessly connect to Apple Music, Spotify, and Roon without needing extensive wiring. It’s compatible with Bluetooth, Tidal Connect, Chromecast, and Apple AirPlay. It also includes digital and analog connections to link your sound system to a TV or CD player, and its built-in phono stage makes it a great choice for vinyl lovers. 

With two built-in amplifiers, the Duetto provides balance and power to the tweeter for precise high-frequency playback necessary in a smaller space. Its mid-woofer, meanwhile, offers a great low-frequency response. In some cases, its deep bass quality eliminates the need for a subwoofer that would further clutter up the space.
