The Toy Tower by Sonus Faber is not so much of a loudspeaker, but a resistance. A resistance to things shapely, and organic. La vita e bella.
With a property like the Villa Art Noveau in Meina, Italy, you'll want a loudspeaker that is quixotic and refined. It has a nice lot, and the view is Harrison Like, but inside, you will not find a lot of space. It would make a nice Friar's residence, and the view would suit the Toy Tower to a T.
You'd be tempted to put in the Aida, Stradivari Homage or Olympica III, were you an aspirant to high fidelity, but the Toy Tower, like the TAD Compact Evolution I puts a certain retro light on stewardly development today.
At $2,750.00 USD / pair, the Toy Tower is not inexpensive, but the level of refinement we might say is to the level of the Fidelity Acoustics RFM-3 ($7,500.00 CDN / pair - same tweeter), the TAD Compact Evolution I (£15995.00 GBP ~= $24,217.00 USD / pair - same use of sides), and the B&W 802 Diamond Loudspeaker ($15,000.00 USD / pair - same leather finish on exterior).
We were going to put it into context of a Roche Bobois sofa.
What's cute about the Toy Tower is the little belly button, though it's missing a lower ovation. Roberto
Benigni might have one, and so might you.
Life is Beautiful.
dolce vita
