On the subject of this month’s blog, we would like to discuss the very popular Sonetto range from Sonus Faber, designed and handcrafted in Italy. They're physically beautiful, compact, easy to set up and place and, most importantly, they sound fantastic. Anyone looking for speakers in this price range, for whom looks, size and sound quality are important, should check them out.

There are eight different models in the Sonetto range - two pairs of stand mounts and three pairs of floor standing speakers, two centre channels and a pair of on-wall speakers. All of them are available in walnut, wenge, white and gloss black.

Sonetto 1 & 2 - Compact but elegant

The Sonetto 1 & the Sonetto 2 are the entry-level stand-mounted speakers within the Sonetto range. Designed to be both compact and elegant at the same time, they offer a very refined and detailed sound. The speakers are front ported, which allows close-to-the-wall room placement, making them perfect for those who lack space.

Sonetto 3 & 5 - Sublime design and engineering

There are three floor standing models in the Sonetto range, Sonetto 3, Sonetto 5 and the Sonetto 8. The Sonetto 8 are the largest of the three, (although we currently don’t hold demonstration stock).

Someone once said “ Thanks to its terrific design and sublime engineering, the Sonus Faber Sonetto 3 produce a much bigger sound than a speaker its size has a right to “

We can’t agree more with this. The Sonetto 3 are the smallest of the three pairs of floorstanders but they are surprisingly room filling.

If you like the Sonetto sound and you want more of it, the Sonetto 5 and Sonetto 8 will take it to the next level.

Sonetto Centre 1 & 2 - Home Cinema Speakers

The centre loudspeaker locks the sound onto the screen and it is a very important part in a home cinema system. Sonus Faber offers two Sonetto centre speaker models, the Centre 1 and the Centre 2.

The smaller Centre 1 is a perfect match for the Sonetto 1, Sonetto 2 and Sonetto 3. A very useful accessory is the supplied table support stand. Position the centre speaker onto the stand, then turn the centre speaker up or down to set up the angle for the best performance.

The Sonetto Center 2 is the larger of the two, a true 3-way design to go with Sonetto 5 or Sonetto 8.

Sonetto Wall - Discreet physical presence

Sonetto Wall, a very elegant 2-way on-wall speaker can be added to a home cinema, a two-channel system or as a stand-alone pair in a room as part of a multi-room system. The Sonetto Wall is available in the four Sonetto finishes.
