Sonus faber Sonetto III
The Sonus faber Sonetto III is a premium floorstanding loudspeaker designed for listeners who want high-end sound, refined Italian craftsmanship, and a slimmer footprint that fits more easily into real living spaces.

Finished with Sonus faber’s lute-shaped cabinet design and premium materials including wood, leather, and concrete, the Sonetto III is built to offer both visual sophistication and controlled acoustic performance.
