B&W vs. Sonus Faber


803 d3 vs Sonus Faber Olympica nova v. These are comparably priced, about $16k.

have heard both in separate rooms with diff equipment. Both sound quite good. Trying to decide.
Interested in any opinions, or other options.

I have the 802D3’s which are revealing, but in the most glorious way.  They display so much complex harmonic information and tonal shadings that are simply not conveyed by most speakers.  My Krell delivers wonderful Class A Sonics and does so with tremendous dynamics and tonal accuracy through my MIT REV Cables.  Spooky holographic soundstaging with lifelike scale and density.  Room placement takes time...every little adjustment can make huge differences in your results.

Dave__b love your comments. Love to see update of your system.  2015 details of your system no doubt have changed abit.
I say.. get yourself a SF Elipsa SE...
I personally dont like the way the new SF sound compare to original Franco Serblin designed.
Yes emergingsoul...I will update system.  MIT cables (since Matrix/MA series) really deliver everything I need from my system.  They deliver detail, exceptional dynamics and dynamic shadings plus accurate tonality and a huge 3D holographic soundstage with tremendous bass definition.  The atmosphere of the recording is laid bare to wander around in...truly remarkable experience.  Once heard, you can’t go back to conventional cabling.  BTW, the REV series from Joe Abrams is inexpensive for what they deliver and when compared to current SOTA from MIT.
