The Concertino G4 brings warm, natural tone, razor-clean vocals and a remarkably three-dimensional soundstage to a compact Italian stand-mount. The Ear found it detailed, dynamically assured and inviting across genres, while its cork, walnut and plant-based trim make the resonance-conscious cabinet as distinctive as its spacious, composed sound.

Pros

Warm, natural and articulate presentation with exceptionally believable vocals and an unfatiguing treble balance.

Expansive, realistic imaging and strong separation let this compact monitor sound far larger than its dimensions.

Remains clean, composed and dynamically convincing at higher volumes, with punchy bass for its size.

Beautifully engineered walnut, cork and plant-based trim cabinet combines premium craftsmanship with resonance-conscious construction.

Cons

Rear port needs roughly a foot or more of breathing room from the wall to avoid bass muddiness.

A subwoofer is worthwhile for listeners seeking the deepest, most tactile low-frequency impact.

The costly speaker-and-stand package competes with substantially larger full-range alternatives.

What Reviewers Are Saying

"Compact, strikingly elegant with that undeniable Sonus faber sound quality, the Concertino G4 Maestros sound bigger than their size and price belie."

— HomeTheaterHifi

"With or without the optional stands, the Sonus faber Concertino G4 is a remarkable product: proficiently engineered, beautifully crafted and it sounds so inviting."

— The Ear

"They played together well, and adding a sub will give you a more tactile experience in the low end."

— Audiophilepure

"The price certainly made us wince — $6,500 (with stands) buys you some much larger, full-range speakers from their existing lineup."

— ecoustics

SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 92/100

Reviewers consistently describe a warm, natural and highly articulate presentation that remains clear, composed and engaging across genres. The Concertino G4 combines unusually convincing scale for a compact stand-mount with strong imaging, realistic dynamics and an unfatiguing tonal balance.

Bass

88/100

For a ported speaker with a 5.25-inch midwoofer, reviewers found the bass notably solid, punchy and convincing, with one review reporting useful output into the 40Hz region. A subwoofer adds more tactile low-end weight, and the rear port requires at least about a foot of space from the wall to avoid muddy bass.

Mid

94/100

The midrange earns particularly strong praise for its natural warmth, articulation and realism. Vocals are described as razor sharp and immensely believable, while the speaker is also said to preserve the character of recordings rather than imposing a heavy sonic signature.

Treble

91/100

Treble is repeatedly characterized as smooth, clean and free from harshness, even when the speakers are played loudly. Reviewers also heard enough clarity and sparkle to convey bright guitar textures and fine musical detail without fatigue.

Soundstage Imaging

94/100

The Concertino G4 creates a spacious, realistic presentation, with convincing separation between voices and instruments and a strong sense of venue ambience. One reviewer achieved an enormous soundstage by widening the speaker spacing, without a gap forming at the center.

Dynamics

94/100

Reviewers found the speaker dynamically realistic with strong timing, speed and convincing kick-drum impact. It remains composed and natural as volume rises, avoiding the strain, harshness and port noise heard from lesser compact speakers when pushed hard.

Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.

Build Quality

95/100

The cabinet receives repeated praise as both beautifully crafted and thoughtfully engineered. Reviewers highlight the walnut finish, distinctive trapezoidal form, cork internal structure, refined brass details and resonance-conscious construction, while the plant-based leather alternative is regarded as convincingly premium.

Value for Money

82/100

At roughly $5,000 per pair before the optional $1,700 stands, the Concertino G4 is a costly compact speaker. One reviewer felt it compares favorably with pricier BBC-style alternatives and called it a potential lifetime purchase, but another noted that its $6,500 stand-mounted package competes with substantially larger full-range speakers.

Manufacturer's Description — Sonus Faber

HERITAGE REBORN WITH MODERN INNOVATION

Dive into the legacy of Sonus faber with Concertino, a masterpiece luxury bookshelf speaker that seamlessly blends heritage with cutting edge technology.

ENDURING LUXURY MEETS

UNPARALLELED SOUND

Concertino embodies the essence of Sonus faber:

It is a project at the intersection of tradition and experimentation.

A NATURAL ELEVATION OF SOUND

Through experimentation with new, natural materials, Concertino embraces the Natural Sound philosophy of Sonus faber. While it retains a historic trapezoidal shape emblematic of Sonus faber’s striking visual designs, it incorporates materials such as cork and plant-based leather alternatives for a modern acoustical soundstage.

SIMPLY DYNAMIC

Concertino is a classic product that enhances Sonus faber’s iconic line of two-way speaker systems. These bookshelf speakers blend our history of timeless Italian craftsmanship with the advancements of new technological lifeblood.

In its simplicity, it aims to elevate the acoustic minimalism of our origins.

A CELEBRATION OF PRECIOUS MATERIALS

Concertino G4 brings together a beguiling combination of natural materials

THE MAESTRO EDITION

Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the first Concertino introduction in 1994, this exclusive release consists of just 300 pairs of the Concertino Maestro Limited Edition, each distinguished by a progressive-numbered brass plaque elegantly set into the walnut side panel, creating a timeless tribute to the heritage and craftsmanship that have defined Sonus faber for decades.

LIMITED EDITION

The Maestro Edition draws inspiration from the historic artisan workshops of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, where apprentices dedicated years under the guidance of a master before creating a "masterpiece" to earn the title themselves.

IRON STAND

The Ironstand, featuring iron and walnut veneer wood, is designed specifically for the Concertinobookshelf speaker from the Heritage collection.

RESPECT FOR TRADITION AND PASSION FOR INNOVATION

Concertino is a love song for our past played on a musical instrument of the future.

It is a combination of a classic design with cutting-edge advancements in technology.

PLANT-BASED LEATHER

Concertino marks the first introduction of a new eco-friendly leather, produced by the Italian start-up Ohoskin, used to cover the front baffle and cork structure. Its sustainably sourced from the derivatives of Sicilian oranges and prickly pears. This plant-based alternative to leather is one of the first non-fossil variations, ensuring that audiophiles who purchase Concertino receive materials of the highest quality in luxury audio sound reproduction while making a positive environmental impact.
