A Listening Night with Sonus Faber and McIntosh
About this Event
Some audio systems impress you.
The truly special ones make you forget about the equipment entirely and simply get lost in the music.
On Wednesday, August 26, Sound Sanctuary Austin invites you to experience one of high-end audio’s most celebrated pairings: Sonus faber loudspeakers powered by McIntosh electronics.
Sonus faber brings the soul of Italian design to music reproduction. Its loudspeakers are known for their sculpted forms, beautiful natural materials, and the kind of rich, expressive sound that makes voices and instruments feel remarkably present.
McIntosh brings the American muscle. The legendary blue meters may be instantly recognizable, but it is the scale, control, and effortless power behind them that have made McIntosh an icon for generations of music lovers.
Together, they create something that is as beautiful to live with as it is exciting to hear.
But this evening is not about staring at equipment or studying a list of specifications.
It is about listening.
We will spend the evening playing great recordings, exploring what a thoughtfully matched HiFi system can do, and sharing the experience with people who simply love music.
Special guests Ernie Coulter and Reise Wiggins will join us to share stories, answer questions, and offer insight into the music, craftsmanship, and thinking behind these two remarkable brands.
Already an audiophile? Come hear pairings that has earned a devoted following around the world.
New to HiFi? This is the perfect opportunity to experience what is possible without needing to know the terminology, the technology, or the difference between a watt and a woofer.
You do not have to own an elaborate audio system. You do not need a carefully prepared list of technical questions. You simply need to enjoy music and be curious about hearing more of it.
Come meet fellow music lovers, discover something new, and spend an evening listening with the Sound Sanctuary Austin community.

ABOUT SONUS FABER
Sonus faber creates loudspeakers in Italy with an approach inspired by the country’s tradition of fine furniture, musical instruments, art, and craftsmanship.
Natural materials, graceful shapes, leather, wood, and hand-finished details give the speakers a warmth and beauty that feel at home in thoughtfully designed spaces.
Their sound follows the same philosophy: natural, expressive, immersive, and deeply connected to the emotion of music.
ABOUT MCINTOSH
McIntosh is one of the most recognizable names in American audio.
Built around a legacy of performance, durability, and unmistakable design, McIntosh electronics have powered extraordinary music systems for generations.
The illuminated glass faceplates and iconic blue meters are part of the appeal, but behind them is the power, control, and musical authority needed to bring a great pair of loudspeakers fully to life.
ITALIAN SOUL. AMERICAN POWER.
Sonus faber and McIntosh may come from different parts of the world, but they share a common belief: a music system should be beautifully made, built to last, and capable of creating an emotional connection between the listener and the performance.
On August 26, you can hear that connection for yourself.
