which should i purchase (tetra or sonus faber)

Buy what sounds good to you, and resist the urge for affirmation from others, unless you've found someone whose preferences mirror your own. If so, that's an opinion to value.

What"s your price range? I heard some Hansen's and they were truly spectaculer. No, they were not colored and beautiful like the Sonus Fabers. They were truly reference grade speakers, letting exactily what the source, pre and amp characteristics come through. Amazingly transperant and musical with the right matc up.

Enjoy,

thanks guys super responses, going to do some intense listening this week , bugeted 25-35k, heard lots of speakers in price range , but absolutely love the TETRA 606,S AND SONUS FARBER AMATI, LEANING A LITTLE TO TETRA AS MY FIRST LISTENING ADVENTURE BLEW ME AWAY , WITH EVERY DETAIL ONE COULD IMAGINE, AND THE FINISH STATE OF THE ART, THANKS TO ALL AGAIN FOR YOUR INPUT VERY MUCH APPRECIATED, PS WHATS GOOD IS I HEARD BOTH SPEAKERS ON ELECTRONICS NOT AS GOOD AS MINE AND I WAS IMPRESSED

the sonus for the long term....a classic model from a classic brand

I would second the Tetra's. I have owned both. Sold the Sonus and still have the Tetra's. Have to be heard.
