Flagship of the Sonetto G2 "collection" and therefore the ultimate expression of Sonus Faber's Sonetto concept, the Sonetto VIII G2 is an imposing and highly refined column that masterfully reflects Sonus Faber 's commitment to Italian craftsmanship and audio innovation.
It uses a 3-way/4-speaker bass-reflex configuration, featuring a 28 mm diameter silk dome tweeter with the effective DAD (Damped Apex Dome) technology, a 165 mm Camelia midrange speaker and two 203 mm woofers with a paper pulp sandwich cone structure. Of the latter three drivers, their peripheral suspension exhibits a unique floral pattern that not only adds visual elegance, but also helps to reduce interference and increase the linearity range.
As for the Camelia, it is imported directly from the fabulous Suprema system and among its particularities we should point out the hermetic cork enclosure that houses it and the presence of an aluminium dispersion modifier with the purpose of smoothing the frequency response curve and the overall clarity both on and off the symmetry axis.
This refined loudspeaker package is managed by a sophisticated crossover filter based on Sonus Faber's unique hybrid IFF and Paracross Topology circuitry, while on the acoustic side it features a classic lute profile constructed from high quality wood panels from Sonus Faber, an elegant concrete base and a new round cover that protects the connection terminals (designed specifically for bi-wiring).
