Product Summary
The Sonus faber Sonetto VIII G2 is the flagship floorstanding loudspeaker in the second-generation Sonetto range, created for listeners who want a powerful, full-scale Sonus faber performance in a beautifully crafted Italian cabinet. Designed and built in Vicenza, Italy, it brings technologies developed for Sonus faber’s higher-end loudspeakers into a more accessible high-performance system.
Its 3-way design combines a 1.1 inch DAD™ Arrow Point tweeter, a dedicated 6.5 inch Camelia midrange driver and two 8 inch woofers. This driver arrangement gives the Sonetto VIII G2 the ability to reproduce music with impressive scale, deep bass, expressive vocals and a smooth, open treble that stays refined even at higher listening levels.
The Camelia midrange driver is housed in a dedicated sealed cork chamber, helping reduce unwanted resonances around the critical vocal and instrumental range. The floor-firing reflex system supports low-frequency extension while helping the speaker integrate cleanly into real listening rooms.
With its lute-shaped cabinet, wood and leather detailing, and concrete base, the Sonetto VIII G2 combines elegant Sonus faber design with the authority needed for serious stereo systems and premium front-channel home cinema installations.
