Bookshelf Speakers — Sonus Faber Sonetto II G2

The Sonetto II G2 is a bookshelf loudspeaker from Sonus Faber, part of the brand's well-regarded Sonetto series, built with a wide bandwidth and demanding impedance. The Sonetto II G2 brings Sonus Faber's more accomplished current engineering to a substantial compact stand-mount format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 42Hz to 40,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB, a wide bandwidth. Sensitivity is 87dB into a demanding 4 ohm load, with a wide recommended amplifier power range of 30-200W. At 41.4 x 22.7 x 35.5cm and 10.4kg, the Sonetto II G2's considerable weight for a bookshelf design reflects Sonus Faber's serious internal driver and cabinet engineering.

Sound and use context

Expect the refined, musically engaging character Sonus Faber's well-regarded Sonetto series is known for, with the wide 42Hz-40kHz bandwidth reflecting careful driver integration at this more accomplished current tier.

Pairing

The demanding 4 ohm impedance and wide 30-200W recommended range call for an amplifier with genuine current delivery.

Alternatives

Sonus Faber's own LUMINA II offers a more accessible alternative within the brand's entry-level Lumina series.
