Not easy to design a speaker with good balance and high efficiency unless using multiple drivers which typically leads to large enclosures...

This may be what I have been waiting for to use in my HT

Thank you all for the nice welcome. I've seen a few small high sensitivity speakers from different manufacturers on their websites, but they are usually very unappealing box shapes and I was hoping SF might design one that breaks that mold.
Perhaps the forthcoming Aida mini?

Nope. Sonus designs the best speaker they know how to design. They are not interested in high sensitivity for the sake of high sensitivity. If the highest performance Sonus faber design path leads to high sensitivity, that's fine. So far it has not. There is no indication it will in the future either.

Not set in stone yet.

Any idea when it'll be at dealers?
