The Sonus faber Sonetto II is the larger of the two bookshelf speakers in the G2 range. Perfect as either a bookshelf or standmounted speaker, and ideal for rooms where floorstanding speakers are too dominant, or as rear speakers in a Sonus Faber theatre arrangement.
Thanks to the most advanced design solutions and particularly to the new front reflex duct implemented on the speaker base in a unique way, Sonetto II is an outstanding performer ideal for middle sized listening rooms.
The Sonetto G2 collection is the result of Sonus faber’s relentless pursuit of sonic excellence. The Sonetto G2 collection stands out for its bespoke approach to design, particularly in the custom engineering of each individual driver. Every driver in the Sonetto G2 series is meticulously crafted specifically for this collection – the first to incorporate acoustic technologies specifically developed for Sonus faber’s groundbreaking Suprema system.
The lute shape of the speakers, an iconic design feature of Sonus faber, not only adds a touch of elegance but also optimises sound dispersion for an immersive listening experience.
The high-quality wood cabinet has been further enhanced with a new concrete base, providingsuperior stability and better vibration management for impeccable sound performance.
The woofer features a paper pulp sandwich cone for precise and dynamic bass response, paired with an organic basket for optimal air flow. Motors include aluminum demodulation rings to improve linearity.
The Sonetto G2 series features a host of classic Sonus faber design highlights, including:
The inclusion of a concrete base, which not only enhances stability and minimizes vibrations but also adds a modern and industrial aesthetic element to the speakers, complementing the classic wood and leather finishes. Concrete bases came with rubber feet, with optional spikes.
The round binding post cover, adorned with the Sonus faber logo, serves both a functional and decorative purpose. Designed specifically for bi-wiring binding posts, it ensures the integrity of connections while adding a touch of refinement to the rear panel of the speakers.
The wood grain in the new Sonetto G2 collection is meticulously crafted to achieve a higher level of detail and refinement. Each speaker's wood finish is expertly executed to highlight the unique character and texture of the wood, resulting in a truly exquisite visual presentation.
