Sonus faber’s Sonetto G2 line has a strong reputation for refined, musical presentation, but this asking price is well above the recent used market here. Against a median of A$3,995 and a 75th percentile of A$4,185, A$9,000 is ambitious enough to need a very special justification.
If this is a clean, carefully kept example with original packaging, stands/accessories, and documented ownership, the appeal is in getting into a genuinely well-regarded speaker with excellent fit and finish, strong midrange naturalness, and easy long-term enjoyability. But at this level, I’d want hard evidence of condition and completeness before paying up; otherwise the premium is hard to defend.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Sonus faber was founded in 1983 by Franco Serblin in Vicenza, Italy, emerging from a singular vision to create loudspeakers of superior musical quality using natural materials and refined design. The company's name, Latin for "handcrafted sound," encapsulates its foundational philosophy. Serblin's early work—including the iconic Snail prototype inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's sketches—established the brand's commitment to marrying acoustic performance with sculptural aesthetics. The company's Italian heritage remains central to its identity, with production continuing in Vicenza for over four decades.
Sonus faber specializes exclusively in loudspeakers, a focused approach that has defined its market position. The brand is renowned for handcrafted wooden cabinets, violin-inspired industrial design, and signature model lines including the Guarneri Homage, Amati, Stradivari, and Aida. Early designs featured Kevlar woofers and silk-dome tweeters, though solid-wood construction became the defining material signature. Each speaker is treated as a musical instrument rather than mere audio equipment, reflecting the company's artisanal manufacturing ethos.
Sonus faber occupies the premium high-end segment of the audio market, commanding respect among discerning audiophiles and collectors worldwide. The brand's reputation rests on uncompromising craftsmanship, luxury materials, and the integration of traditional Italian design principles with contemporary audio technology. Its positioning appeals to listeners who view speakers as both functional components and interior design statements—a niche that has sustained the company's prestige and premium pricing across its four-decade history.
