If these Joseph Audio speakers are still available they’d give you what you’re looking for and save you some good $$$. They completely disappear and throw off a deeeep 3D soundstage like few other speakers, and they have lots of detail/air but present it in a very natural way. Definitely worth a look IMHO given what you’re looking for, but if they don’t work out you can turn around and sell them for little/no loss so very low risk. Best of luck.

Fyne Audio F502 or Sonus Faber Sonetto V
Hi people, seeking opinions from you all that have exposure to these speakers/product lines.
My current setup is a pair of Dali Oberon 7s, driven by Parasound A23 power and HiFi Rose RS 250 Streamer/Pre-amp. Why I got the Dali’s in the first place - warm, big, natural with amazing vocals. It lacks in fine detail, sound stage compared to others I have listed to, and doesn’t perform as well in low volume listening, which I find myself doing a fair bit. Note: the DAC in the Rose streamer really added a lot of detail to the top end. But I still want more! It’s great, but its not breathtaking and that is what I want.
Option 1: My local deal is offering me $1250 for trade in value for the Dali floorstanders, leaving $3750 + Tax for the Sonetto Vs.
Option 2: Local seller offering used Fyne Audio 502s for about 2K. I don’t see getting more than $1000-$1100 selling towers on Audiogon or eBay.
Im also mildly consider the next step up in Dali’s line - the Opticon 6 Mk2 (2K), In which case I will just use the Oberon 7 towers for rear HT duty.
TYIA!
