The next track is Yello’s ‘Rubberbandman,’ which places more value on being ultra quick and the ability of a speaker to reproduce deep male vocals without chesty tones nor with weakness of palpability. The song is toe-tapping, rhythmic, and challenging for lesser speakers. Again, the Sonetto VIII’s are fabulous. These are a speaker that challenges for an excellent value, high-end two-channel reproduction machine. The Bass Cello on ‘Night Train’ is exceptional in its rendering, right down to hearing the strings striking the body with complete transparency. If you want detail without harshness, the Sonus faber Sonetto VIII G2 is something you must hear.

We will finish the listening portion of the review with ‘Power,’ a live cut from Marcus Miller. The bass line, percussion, and brass sections combine for a macro-dynamic fest for the ears. It was time to crank up the volume and test out the mettle of these towers when things get really tough. It was no problem for the now termed ‘mighty 8’s’. These are a speaker that can deliver on anything from classical to jazz to rock and yes, even country.
