Bookshelf Speakers — Sonus Faber SONETTO I

The SONETTO I is a bookshelf loudspeaker from Sonus Faber, part of the accessible Sonetto lineup, built with a comparatively modest sensitivity into a demanding impedance. The SONETTO I brings Sonus Faber's considered engineering to an accessible stand-mount format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response spans an exceptionally wide 52Hz to 40,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Sensitivity is a comparatively modest 86dB into a demanding 4 ohm load, with a wide recommended amplifier power range of 30-150W. At 50.0 x 55.5 x 40.5cm and 8.4kg, the SONETTO I maintains a manageable footprint for a bookshelf-classified design within Sonus Faber's accessible Sonetto lineup.

Sound and use context

Expect the exceptionally refined, exquisitely crafted character Sonus Faber's broader Italian catalogue is celebrated for, delivered at this more accessible price tier within the Sonetto lineup.

Pairing

The demanding 4 ohm impedance combined with the wide 30-150W recommended range calls for a reasonably capable amplifier.

Alternatives

Sonus Faber's own SONETTO III offers genuine floorstanding scale within the same broader accessible Sonetto catalogue.
