I have the Cirrus and Tempesta now. the Tempesta only have a week on them at the moment and the Cirrus have about 300hrs.
the Tempesta may have a bigger bottom end (more, not necessarily deeper) and I think the midrange is a bit more detailed. you can hear the coloration from the cabinets. this is probably not something that's apparent if you're used to listening to the typically constructed cabinets. with the Cirrus there is absolutely no sense of the cabinets at all. I get more of a 3D soundstage with the Cirrus, which I really like. at certain times with the Tempesta (not all the time) I sense sound projecting directly from the mid drivers instead of hovering in space like the Cirrus.
both these speakers are outstanding. if I had to pick one I would go with the Cirrus, but could be happy with either. if you are DIY capable the Tempesta kit is a great value.
