Spendor S8e vs. Sonus Faber Grand Piano

I haven't listened to Spendors, but the Grand Piano's in a slightly larger room, maybe 10' x 15'were the best sounding speakers I have ever heard in that price range (approx. $4K). There's just a certian quality there I really liked, call it the perfect balancee between accuracy, warmth, and tonal balance. I also admire the fact that SF appears to spec/manufacture their own drivers. I have a set of speakers with the Scan Speak revelator drivers in them and a well designed crossover, they are very good but not in the same league.

Doug. I read your post and got me thinking. Two things.

The new Sonus Faber line thats replacing their old stuff. Grand Piano Homes specifically. Do you think or have any links showing that maybe they solved that off axis issue?

Secondly, What about very nice sound panels at the first reflection point on the left and right in a 12' wide room?

Another problem with my buddies room. His ceiling is only 8' high. 25' long room. Spendors of the new Sonus Fabers?

I found this information on the Home Theater website review.
Does this have a good off axis window and are tehy tube freindly?

The Domus Wall's listening-window response measures +1.81/–5.70 dB from 200 Hz to 10 kHz. The –3dB point is at 84 Hz, and the –6dB point is at 67 Hz. Impedance reaches a minimum of 4.89 ohms at 20 kHz and a phase angle of –46.50 degrees at 136 Hz.—MJP

Hi Stylinlp_38,

My room is 8'X14'X21' and the S8e speaker disappears leaving behind the music. I originally sought out this speaker I knew it would have a natural tone with very good articulation but what I didn't expect was how well these box speakers throw a soundstage especially in the depth plane!

BTW my room uses many floor to ceiling 9" round tube traps with also a set of Argent Room Lenses.

Good Luck!*>)
