Title: Sonido Boutique Speaker Drivers
Post by Hearafter on 02/13/25 at 03:56:17

Finally got off the fence to build my first set of speakers in 30 years. Was planning on building a Pair of DNA2’s but I wanted to explore what was available in the reasonably priced high end full range drivers. Came across on DIY Audio forum Electro Magnet Speakers from France which had good reviews and looked great but then I heard about Sonido drivers made in Hungary. After researching and when Nelson Pass gave a recommendation for Sonido I was in. Took a leap of faith and ordered their top one of their top of the line Field Coil Driver SWR096FC. A cool oval 6x9 speaker that requires a power supply for their field coil magnets. Working with owner Istavan was a pleasure with top notch service and fast delivery. Received the drivers and power supply late January. I built Sonido’s recommended cabinet and now have 4 days of listening time. They are really something special and the best speakers I have heard on my system with my initial listening impression. Bass, clarity, detail, separation, sound stage, realism they do it all and they still need more hours of break in. Just for reference, my prior speakers for comparison were Fritz Rev6 SE Monitors, Goldenear Tritan 2 and Ohm Walsh Tall 2000’s. There is not much information out there on Sonido so I thought I would share my experience for another DIY option especially if you are interested in true Field Coil drivers. I will be posting pics on the DIY section of the forum well. No affiliation here with Sonido.
