reviews the Sonus Faber Guarneri G5 as a beautifully designed speaker that offers more than just aesthetics. The combination of a 28mm soft dome tweeter and a 150mm cellulose pulp mid/bass driver provides a dynamic and controlled sound. At higher volumes, the Guarneri G5 delivers impressive performance with rich and sonic reproduction. However, at lower volumes, the speaker can appear a bit reserved, and the £13,000 price tag is considered considerable.
Hi-Fi+
notes that the Guarneri G5 has a more inert design than previous models from Sonus Faber, resulting in a speaker that is free of coloration. At lower listening volumes, however, performance can be perceived as somewhat limited, while at higher volumes the speaker reaches its full potential.
Extreme HiFi
stresses that the Guarneri G5 is a wonderful speaker that brings joy by making everything sound more beautiful, especially vocals and violins, with a buttery smooth sound. However, they note that bass response can be disappointing and a subwoofer may be needed to complete the experience. In addition, the speaker requires a fair amount of power to perform at its best and the accompanying stand is pricey.
The Ear
stresses that the Amati G5 is a modern Sonus Faber loudspeaker suitable for a wide range of musical genres. They note that while previous models may have been too delicate for certain musical tastes, the Amati G5 is capable of moving a greater volume of air, resulting in a more dynamic sound.
OHHIFI
highlights the natural transparency and beauty of the Amati G5, with a rich, full and smooth sound that is remarkably neutral and non-fatiguing. The midrange is praised for its glory, with realistic reproduction of vocals and instruments.
Hi-Fi News
runs a lab report on the Amati G5 and notes that the speaker features an integrated sub/sat design, with a 150mm mid and 28mm DAD tweeter operating in their own "Intono" chamber. The off-axis response of this combination is well controlled, especially over the vertical axis, resulting in smooth and consistent sound reproduction.
TechRadar
