Bookshelf Speakers — Sonus Faber CONCERTINO G4

The CONCERTINO G4 is a bookshelf loudspeaker from Sonus Faber, a well-established Italian manufacturer with a considerable reputation for refined driver and cabinet engineering, built with a demanding impedance and wide amplifier-power tolerance. The CONCERTINO G4 brings Sonus Faber's considered engineering to a compact stand-mount format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 60Hz to 25,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Sensitivity is a comparatively modest 85dB into a demanding 4 ohm load, with a wide recommended amplifier power range of 30-150W. At 31.4 x 21.4 x 29.7cm and 6.6kg, the CONCERTINO G4 maintains a manageable footprint for a bookshelf-classified design.

Sound and use context

Expect the refined, precisely engineered character Sonus Faber's broader Italian high-end catalogue is known for, with the demanding 4 ohm impedance suggesting a design that rewards capable amplification.

Pairing

The demanding 4 ohm impedance and wide 30-150W recommended range call for an amplifier with genuine current delivery.

Alternatives

Sonus Faber's own LUMINA II offers a very similarly specified alternative within a different, more recent product line.
