Yes, Sonus Fabers on the used market are a tough sell. They are always plentiful - always easy to find Olympicas, Guarneri Evos, Cremonas, Elipsas, Strads, Futuras, and now even the newest Tradition line are available on the used market. I just think most used sellers are overpricing them. If they don't sell for a couple months maybe the price is too high??? It does seem that all speakers dn't hold their value at all in the current decline of high end pricing (imho), so it is not just Sonus Faber. I think used Sonus Fabers are much more plentiful though, and seems to be around 60% off retail at least for the most part. I had the Elipsas a while back and they actually like being closer to the walls compared to the Amatis or Olympicas.
SF Serafino vs SF Elipsa SE
Any opinions on these 2? They are about the same price in the used market now.
I've got plenty of power (350W) to drive either. They would go into a 13x15 room that sucks (open on 1 side wall). Right now I have WIlson Duettes. My understanding is the Elipsa's are good in almost all rooms and easy to setup. I don't know about the Serafinos.
I listen primarily to vocalists, jazz and soft rock (James Taylor, Eagles, etc.)
Thanks.
