Sonus Faber Sonetto VIII G2 Floorstanding Loudspeakers
The second generation from the award-winning Sonetto series, Sonetto G2 is the first collection to incorporate acoustic technologies specifically designed for the Suprema system, the elite flagship of the Sonus faber catalog. Taking its name from the sonet - the oldest Italian poetic structure - Sonetto is both steeped in tradition and driven by evolutions in technology.
Derived from the Italian word for “sonnet,” meaning “little song,” Sonetto G2 pays homage to the rich traditions of both Italy and Sonus faber. Featuring our signature artisanal craftsmanship and innovative design, each individual driver is custom-engineered specifically for this collection.
Inspired by Italian poetry, brought to life by Sonus faber’s core technologies. Sonetto VIII stands as the flagship model of the new Sonetto G2 collection, representing a meticulously crafted tribute to audio excellence.
Sonetto VIII represents the organic legacy of the Suprema system into a 3-way floorstanding speaker. The iconic elements of Sonus faber converge in this exemplary piece. A design philosophy based on Natural Sound and natural materials as well as a visionary pursuit of sonic excellence are imbued in this high-end luxury speaker, hand-crafted in Italy.
Sonetto VIII is the most powerful 3-way speaker of the Sonetto collection. The unique pairing of tweeters and midrange in Sonetto VIII is encased in a bespoke cork chamber, meticulously designed to optimize internal volume and enhance driver performance. Borrowed from the flagship Suprema speaker, the acoustic properties of cork play a pivotal role in enhancing midrange clarity and delivering a natural, organic sound output.
The use of organic materials and designs inspired by nature defines the Natural Sound philosophy that embodies "The Voice of Sonus faber."
