Напольная акустика — Sonus Faber Sonetto V G2

The Sonetto V G2 is a floorstanding loudspeaker from Sonus Faber's second-generation Sonetto range, positioned below the flagship Sonetto VIII with a somewhat more compact cabinet. This model represents an accessible route into Sonus Faber's well-regarded Sonetto lineup, offering the brand's characteristic Italian tonal character at a more attainable scale.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 35 Hz to 40 000 Hz. Sensitivity is 89 dB into a demanding 4 ohm load with a substantial 320 W recommended level. At 108.7 x 41.5 x 30.8 cm and 33.5 kg it is a substantial but somewhat more manageable tower than the flagship Sonetto VIII.

Sound and use context

Expect the same warm, musically engaging character central to Sonus Faber's Sonetto range, in a somewhat more compact cabinet than the flagship VIII - buyers already drawn to the brand's characteristic Italian voicing should find a consistent tonal signature here, with correspondingly less ultimate bass scale than the larger model.

Pairing

The 89 dB sensitivity and demanding 4 ohm load with substantial 320 W recommended level call for a capable amplifier with real current delivery, worth confirming against whatever amplifier is already owned or planned for the system.

Alternatives

Sonus Faber's Sonetto VIII sits above this model for a larger room and greater bass authority, worth the further investment if this model's already substantial capability still leaves ambitions for the brand's larger Sonetto flagship tower. Sonus Faber extensive dealer network makes arranging a direct comparison against the larger Sonetto VIII practical, helping clarify whether the additional scale that flagship model offers justifies its higher price for a specific room. A rigid, well-positioned base also helps this tower deliver its full potential in a given room. Toe-in adjustment at the listening seat remains a free, worthwhile tweak once placement is finalised. A subwoofer should rarely be needed given this tower already substantial bass extension for most rooms. Overall this remains an accessible route into Sonus Faber well-regarded Sonetto range character. A dealer visit remains the simplest way to compare this model against the larger flagship Sonetto VIII. Cable and stand choices matter far less at this price point than the source pairing already covered.
