#163 Sonus Faber Sonetto II: $2,500 per pair Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the Sonus Faber Sonetto II G2, ranked higher, rated 3.1/5.
Pros: A two-way stand-mount with a 6.5” paper pulp woofer, a 29mm silk dome tweeter and a downward-firing port in Sonus Faber’s curved wood cabinet. Measurements show good bass for its size, 58Hz (-3dB) and about 37Hz (-10dB). Measured bass extension of 58Hz (-3dB).
Cons: The response is uneven (0.53 on-axis deviation), for a preference score of 3.97 that reaches 5.92 with an ideal subwoofer. That data is low quality, from a reviewer’s home measurement. The load is 4 ohms. Sonus Faber replaced it with the Sonetto II G2. Discontinued.
