The entire collection is true Sonus faber – featuring all the iconic elements of the brand: natural sound, natural materials, the Lute shape, the artisan finishes typical of Italian craftsmanship, and manufacturing done completely in the Sonus faber factory in Vicenza.
Thanks to the most advanced design solutions, and particularly to the new reflex port uniquely implemented on the speaker base, Sonetto I is an outstanding performer and compact bookshelf. Ideal for mid-sized listening rooms, Sonetto I is designed for use on a bookshelf or stand.
LEATHER TOP
The Sonus faber Sonetto collection's floorstanding and bookshelf models inherit from the Olympica line the leather top, hand-sewn, soft to the touch and embellished by the hot branded Sonus faber logo.
LUTE SHAPE
The lute shape that characterizes most of the Sonus faber models, offers a solution that ensures no internal parallel surfaces and a perfect control over internal resonances.
THE VOICE OF SONUS FABER
The combination of a silk dome tweeter with the DAD™ (Damped Apex Dome™) technology and a midwoofer with a special natural fiber and a paper blend air dried diaphragm, defines our iconic "Voice of Sonus faber". This configuration that characterized the entire Sonus faber catalogue, from the Reference to the Olympica collection, is available for the first time in this price range.
MIDWOOFER
These speakers have been designed from scratch specifically for this collection and they all feature the die cast basket, done completely in Sonus faber laboratories.
REFLEX PORT
The Sonetto collection's reflex ports are all sited on the base of the speakers, except for the center channels, to keep the design as clean as possible and at the same time make in-room placement very forgiving.
Compact, crystal pure sound after warming up
I did not sound right away, I need to warm up
Sonus Faber found out by the Olympica series, and fell in love with this pure, lightest sound. I decided to buy Sonetto 1, because Olympica is an insanely expensive series of acoustics. At first, the columns rustled somewhat clamped, there was no airiness and lightness as that of Olympica. But I believed in these speakers, hoping for warming up. Indeed, at the request of Sonus Faber, they are the same speakers, and the same filter as in Olympica. Differences only in the case. In general, I waited, and realized that I did not lose. After a rather long heating (several days, at the average volume) - the acoustics sounded. There was lightness in the sound. This is of course not Olympica, but the sound is quite close, comfortable, and super detective.
