EN.
General: The Sonus Faber Sonetto range has been completely renewed and transformed into the Sonetto G2 series. The Sonetto III G2 is the first floorstanding speaker from the Sonetto G2 series; below the Sonetto III G2 are the Sonetto I G2 and Sonetto II G2 standmount speakers, and above the Sonetto III G2 are its larger siblings, the Sonetto V G2 and Sonetto VIII G2. The Sonetto G2 series has been improved on many fronts compared to the original Sonetto series, both in terms of sound quality and appearance.

Technology: A major change compared to its predecessor is that the Sonus Faber Sonetto III G2 is now a 2.5-way speaker instead of a 3-way speaker. This means the midrange driver is no longer filtered downward and thus contributes to the bass reproduction. This results in a much smoother transition between the bass and midrange. Additionally, the cabinet has been significantly reinforced and the housing is now fixed on a thick concrete base for resonance control. The interior of the cabinet is equipped with cork, something you also find in the € 750,000 Sonus Faber Suprema System and, for example, in the new Concertino G4. The midrange driver is based on Sonus Faber's latest Camelia midrange, which you also encounter in the Suprema speaker system. The finish is clearly of a higher level than the excellent first-generation Sonetto speakers, and sonically the Sonus Faber Sonetto III G2 goes further than its predecessor.

Listening: The Sonus Faber Sonetto III G2 have essentially improved on every point compared to its predecessor. The bass goes deeper and has more body and punch. The bass also sits better in place, particularly on carpeted floors. This is because the concrete base is now positioned under the downward-firing bass reflex port, so the bass energy is not absorbed by the floor and remains better preserved. The midrange and treble have clearly improved and move more toward the sound of the more expensive Olympica Nova series from Sonus Faber. You hear much more detail and the soundstage is larger, but the midrange is also fuller and more pleasant. All in all, Sonus Faber has made significant progress with the Sonetto III G2, and in fact the entire Sonetto G2 series of speakers, compared to an already excellent series. The price has increased somewhat, but the G2 series is certainly worth this premium, both in terms of build quality, appearance, and musicality.
