The SONUS FABER SONETTO VIII SPEAKERS are not inexpensive, but I know of no other speaker that provides their luxurious appearance and their splendid performance.
Sonetto VIII is the most powerful 3-way speaker of the Sonetto collection with three 180mm woofers for the best reproduction of lower frequencies and high-end standards. We have designed a speaker that completely represents our roots. The entire collection is a true Sonus Faber that features all the iconic elements of the brand: natural sound, natural materials, the Lute shape, the excellent finishes typical of Italian craftsmanship, and manufacturing done completely in our factory in Vicenza.

The Sonus faber Sonetto VIII speakers, despite being part of Sonus faber’s “economy line,” surprise you again and again. Their looks and performance are as good or better than any other speaker that I’ve heard.
