Sonus Faber Duetto
Powerful, rich sound in a compact design. Designed for both digital and analog sources, Duetto is a versatile combination of Italian style and contemporary function.
BIG SOUND IN A COMPACT DESIGN
Duetto marks Sonus faber's inaugural active stereo wireless speaker system. Powered by four bespoke amplifiers, Duetto presents an all-in-one sound solution, harmoniously blending a multitude of connectivity options while keeping the listening experience wire-free.
DOUBLE THE SOUND, NOT THE SIZE
Inspired by a harmony produced by two instruments, Duetto sets a new standard for wireless high-fidelity sound in a compact design.
ULTRA WIDE BAND TECHNOLOGY
Duetto employs Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology, enabling communication between the two speakers. The wireless transmission avoids latency and interference by other home networks while guaranteeing a wide frequency spectrum to send data signals at high speeds.
SENSO™ TECHNOLOGY BY SONUS FABER
The leather top panel allows the user to control and set up speaker functions — such as playback, volume, input selection, and connections— with a buttonless interface through simple fingertip gestures.
iconic lute shape
Sonus faber’s iconic lute-shaped design takes inspiration from musical instruments. Crafted from wood, the cabinet ensures structural solidity, rich timbre, and musicality, while effectively eradicating internal resonances to shape the unmistakable Sonus faber Natural Sound.
HEAR – AND SEE – TO BELIEVE
Duetto takes note of Sonus faber’s most iconic design queues and natural materials.

Small, luxurious Sonus Faber Duetto punches well above its size with surprisingly powerful, tuneful low end and vivid vocal detail. Reviewers like Jacob Green and Simon Lucas note its deep bass, lavish midrange and expansive staging, plus modern streaming and an ultra‑reliable UWB wireless link.
Pros
- Surprisingly deep, punchy bass for a compact two‑way that extends into the high‑30Hz region, giving small‑floor‑stander weight without always needing a sub.
- Lavish, highly detailed midrange and vocal clarity that conveys tone, emotion and precise imaging.
- Comprehensive modern feature set — AirPlay2/Chromecast/Roon, HDMI eARC, switchable phono, per‑driver Sabre/AKM DACs and an ultra‑wideband inter‑speaker link for low‑latency wireless stereo.
&
Cons
- Early/preview units suffered firmware and usability problems ( flaky Wi‑Fi pairing, touch and remote control issues) that impacted everyday operation.
- Treble can be a touch forward on bright or aggressive masters, which may fatigue very treble‑sensitive listeners.

Bass
91/100
For its size (134mm mid/woofer, reflex enclosure) the Duetto delivers exceptional low-frequency extension and punch; multiple reviewers called it 'small floor‑stander bass', 'long way down' to ~37–40Hz and said a subwoofer is often unnecessary. Control and texture are repeatedly praised (hi‑fi+, StereoNET, Audioholics).
Mid
93/100
Reviewers consistently highlight lavish, detailed midrange and vocal presence: 'lavish' and 'torrential' mid information, superb timbre and emotional communication (hi‑fi+, Sound Advice, StereoNET). Integration with bass and treble is noted as very smooth.
Treble
90/100
High frequencies are detailed, controlled and energetic with a smooth driver transition despite a low 1.9kHz crossover; some reviewers note occasional forwardness or ‘overeager’ brightness at times, but overall attack/decay control is excellent (hi‑fi+, Audioholics, StereoNET).
Soundstage Imaging
91/100
The Duetto creates a large, well-organised and persuasive soundstage with clear imaging and element separation; reviewers describe expansive staging and stable centre images when positioned correctly (hi‑fi+, Audioholics, The Ear).
Dynamics
89/100
Excellent macro- and micro-dynamic facility with abundant amplifier power (100W TW / 250W MW per side) and 105dB SPL capability; able to handle orchestral surges yet shows some compression/tightening if driven very loudly (hi‑fi+, Audioholics, The Ear).

Build Quality
93/100
Cabinets are beautifully made in Sonus faber’s lute shape with high-quality finishes, integrated finned heatsink and careful detailing; reviewers call the fit-and-finish impeccable and the design avoids obvious resonances (hi‑fi+, StereoNET, Sound Advice).
Features Connectivity
95/100
Extensive modern connectivity: AirPlay2, Chromecast, Spotify/Tidal Connect, Roon Ready, aptX HD Bluetooth, Ethernet/Wi‑Fi, HDMI eARC, optical, switchable phono/line RCAs, sub output, per‑driver DACs (ESS/AKM), UWB wireless link and a forthcoming app/Senso web interface — reviewers praise the comprehensive, integrated feature set (Audioholics, The Ear, hi‑fi+).
Value for Money
86/100
At ~$3,999 reviewers see strong value for an all‑in‑one, beautifully finished, high‑performing system — convenience and style factor heavily — though separates at similar cost might slightly outperform sonically for some buyers (hi‑fi+, StereoNET, Sound Advice).
