JM Labs 927 Be vs Sonus Faber GPH also the 937BE


Has anybody auditioned both these speakers, and what is your preference.

Room Size:
11*12
Music:
Classical,Indian movie music (Vocal + lot of instruments), Indian classical, & Jazz.

I am also looking at the 937Be, and the main difference between 927 seems to be in the size of woofer. How do you guys compare the 927 vs 937. Also would the 937be work given the room size.

Thank you,

Also what type of music does cremona auditor work with apart from classical, vocal and jazz.
The JM Labs 927/937 Be are known for the high-resolution tweeter. This does not seem a good match for classical Indian music, IMHO.

I dont mean to divert this discussion towards something else. But I would like to let you know my choice of speakers for the type of music preferences you have. Totem Acoustics have Arros, Hawks, Forests and Mani-2. All of these sound darn good..infact magical for the type of music you are referring to. I have not listened to Sonus Faber (or) JM Labs Higher end like 927 (or) 937 be. But I did listen to JM Lab Chorus line which are pretty good...but not in the same league as Totems particularly for your music choice. May be you can atleast audition them if you have not already done so.

If you like Sonus Faber GPH, the Cremona Auditor does all that the GPH does, except much better. I personally think the Sonus line is a bit more musically versatile than the JM Labs. Specifically the Cremona Auditors rock much better than my Electra 926's. But the JM Labs are excellent speakers, and I believe this is particularly true if you are using tube gear. Nothing I've heard beats JM Labs for well recorded female vocals, for instance. But I find them quite unforgiving and not that well suited for some of my music collection.

To be honest, though, neither the JM Labs nor Sonus Fabers are my favorite in the price range. For me, the best is the PMC OBH-1. This is a wonderfully accurate British speaker without a characteristic "audiophile" sound. They do require a pretty powerful amp to drive them, and tubes are really out of the question. But check out some reviews, and much more important, audition a pair if you get a chance. (There is an interesting thread here comparing them to ATCs that you can search for.)
