Sonus faber

The latest exciting development from Sonus faber is the release of their exciting new loudspeaker collection known as Sonetto. This line is comprised of two bookshelf models, the Sonetto I at $1699 per pair and the Sonetto II at $2299 per pair, three floor-standing models, the Sonetto III at $3999 per pair, the Sonetto V at $4999 per pair, and the Sonetto VIII at $6499 per pair, two center channels, the Sonetto C I at $999 and the Sonetto C II at $1999, and an on-wall, the Sonetto Wall at $1199.

In this more affordable collection, Sonus faber has included all the electroacoustic solutions which characterized the speakers further up the Sonus faber range, like the Homage Tradition and the Reference collections. These are the technologies which embody the Sonus faber philosophy:

• Paracross topology is employed in each crossover design for the best contrast, musical detail, and definition
• Damped Apex Dome (DAD) tweeter technology which was previously available only in the Reference, Homage and Olympica lines
• Midranges and midwoofers specifically built for Sonetto using a special blend of natural fiber and air-dried cellulose
• Woofers that have also been specifically designed from scratch for Sonetto, featuring the Sonus faber die-cast basket and with a special aluminum alloy diaphragm for ultra-fast, tight and deep bass performance
• Downward-firing ports minimize interactions with walls and simplify room placement

The top of each cabinet is hand-sewn leather, and the curved, lute-shaped sides and metal accents result in that elegant Sonus faber style. This company has always been known for loudspeakers that are as beautiful to see as they are to hear.
