Sonus Faber has recently introduced its latest Sonetto G2 series of speakers at the esteemed High End Munich 2024. This new collection comprises a variety of speakers, including standmount, floorstanders, a centre channel, and a wall-mounted speaker, providing a total of seven impressive choices for audio enthusiasts.
Despite belonging to the Italian brand’s entry-level series, the Sonetto G2 boasts advanced technology and materials, distinguishing it as a high-end offering. Ranging in price from £1150 / $1499 to £7000 / $7999, these speakers offer a luxurious and unparalleled audio experience without a hefty price tag.
A notable aspect of the Sonetto G2 is its incorporation of state-of-the-art driver technologies derived from the flagship Suprema speaker system, which is priced at £/$700,000. This marks the first time that the advanced features and materials of the Suprema system have been integrated into a complete speaker range, making the Sonetto G2 a groundbreaking addition to the realm of high-fidelity sound equipment.
The top-tier Sonetto V and VIII floorstanders feature an innovative internal cork chamber, inspired by the Suprema system, which allows for a seamless and controlled flow of sound waves, resulting in exceptional sound propagation and resonance. Additionally, a new Camelia midrange driver, left unpainted for sound purity, and a distinct floral pattern surrounding the woofer/bass drivers contribute to reduced interference and refined sound quality across the range.
The Sonetto G2 speakers also incorporate Sonus Faber’s own Silk Dome DAD tweeter, renowned for its ability to reveal fine nuances and deliver exceptional clarity and detail in sound reproduction. Furthermore, the Sonetto I and II standmount models include the “Intono” internal duct/pressure technology, ensuring optimal performance with sealed and ported cabinet advantages.
Taking inspiration from musical instruments, the Sonetto G2 range adopts an iconic “lute shape” design, not only for aesthetic appeal but also to enhance sound dispersion. Additionally, the speakers are equipped with a new concrete base for improved stability and vibration management, while the natural wood grain finish adds a touch of elegance to the overall design.
Available in walnut, wenge, and piano black finishes, the complete Sonetto G2 range includes the following models:
– Sonetto I G2 two-way bookshelf: £1750 / $1999
