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 represents the organic legacy of the Suprema system into a 3-way floorstanding speaker. The iconic elements of Sonus faber converge in this exemplary piece. A design philosophy based on Natural Sound and natural materials as well as a visionary pursuit of sonic excellence are imbued in this high-end luxury speaker, hand-crafted in Italy.
