Sonus Faber Sound?

The highs are excellent. They are not JM Labs or Metal Dome tweeter highs but they are detailed and sweet. Not mechanical at all.

I agree with Chris about the highs. They are well integrated and voiced properly. They are not exaggerated or etched like some speakers. There is PLENTY of high frequency detail but it is in proportion with the rest of the frequency range.

I own the original Sonus Faber Grand Piano Speakers. I was using the BOW Wazoo 50wpc integrated amplifier but decided these speakers required much more power so I switched to the McIntosh Integrated MA6900 200 wpc. My Grand Piano Speakers sound terrific and all my friends agree. They are very warm sounding speakers that include the right musical details and dynamics. They have great liquidity and smoothness over the full range of music. All of the above comments are on target so I suggest you listen to a pair in your room (if possible) with your amplifier and make your own decision. If you listen at a Retailer, please use the amp you expect to use to ensure all is okay sound wise. cheers....

IMO Grand Piano in particular is the most balanced and the most natural speaker I've ever heard.

Hgeifman,

You peaked my curiousity. I am using a Cary SLI-80 Signature with great results in the 40WPC mode and they sound fantastic. The amp does not even seem like it is working that hard.

Maybe this is just Tube verus Solid State Results? The added power made that much of a difference?
