Best Speakers $5k-$10k: Sonus faber Sonetto V G2 review

A beguiling combination of delicacy and dynamic coherence, needless to say Tom is impressed.

Tom does an exceptional job of explaining speaker characteristics. Outstanding review.

What a great review. Loved how you articulated soundstage, air, tone and frequency response, both from a more objective perspective as we as subjectively. Having a comparison also completed the review. One of the best video reviews I have ever heard Tom!

I really like this type of review. It is eloquent, sound and informative wrapped up in a story like a very interesting screenplay or a novel. All good things are rare so as this type of review that combines knowledge and simplicity in transferring into 10-15 minutes of elaboration. I really really enjoy each time!

[vicentemonsalve]

Excellent review, way better than most hifi channels

[bbb-rivs]

really appreciate your reviews and unique perspective and delivery!

This is how you review a speaker. After watching this, I’ve unsubscribed from 10 other “audiophile” channels that have no clue how to review sound. I’m getting the Sonus Faber Sonetto III G2 on Saturday.

What a pleasurable review! Your gift for language and delivery was delightful!

I spent a lot of time in this room at Audio Advice. Like a couple hours. They are like an enigma with me, in a good way.

Love Sonus Faber. Have a pair of Aida 2's in Wenge finish.

Great review! I have owned the Sonetto VIII's. I really liked them, sadly, had to let them go. In my new space I have a pair of Sonetto 2 G2's on the way! Can't wait to fire them up!! Cheers!

Good review, thanks.

As crazy as it sounds to say I think these seem like a good deal. Having the cork internals at a normal cost is interesting.

Have the sonetto 1 g2 in a medium room and are amazed how they full the room almoust like a old sonetto 3 they beat some towers in the 4 and 5 k price range

[brentcollins]

I love my first generation Sonetto 3’s. The new 5’s will be my next speakers.

[WILLIAMMORALES-gwzz]

There are so many good ones in that price range, atc, revel, wharfedale elysians, the philharmonic floor model etc. It's personal taste.

[gtrguyinaz]

Nice review and this price range is right for most… Sonus has a signature sound up and down there line to me and sound is pleasant… bass does roll off …

[steveg]

Great review ! Would that needle in the haystack be the Sonetto VIII G2 ? Same sound sonic signature with larger woofers ?

[autonomous-hmyf]

I think this is what you call a sweet spot speaker. I much prefer dynamics that play through a darker tonal presentation.

[yippie]

Now here is an audio reviewer that knows his shiit. Some others on YouTube could learn a thing or two.

[tonyschifano]

Great Review Tom - What would you say to a combo of the Sonetto 2 & and great sub vs. these Sonetto V’s (with or without a Sub)?

[Darrylizer]

Very helpful review. I'm in a bit of a pickle as my music tastes run from extreme metal to solo piano to large and small group jazz and classical, electronica, hip hop, acoustic music and lots of rock and uncategorizable things. Needle in a haystack speakers are what I need.
