Scansonic MB-2.5B vs Sonus Faber Lumina III


Has anyone heard the Scansonic MB-2.5B? I don’t have a Scansonic dealer in my area and the only references I have is the online reviews. I am in the process of upgrading speakers narrowed down to the Scansonic and Sonus Faber Lumina III

Based on the price point/choice, Scansonic appear to the more attractive choice based on spec/build/aesthetic.

Lumina is in SF's "value" line and accordingly, is built as expected-offshore parts, maybe assembled in Italy? Haven't listened Luminamodel, but plenty of previous year models. I'm sure they sound as expected for their PP.

Both models will sound great with SS or tubes-your ears and wallet can decide.

@jerryg123 We will have to agree to disagree. I had the PL HP with KT150s and Brimar CV4003, SR blue fuses and aftermarket power cord. I owned the Scansonic MB-6B, and they powered an 18x23 room. It wasn’t endgame reference, but it was quite satisfactory given the level of investment. I know there are a few others in this thread that have also owned a PL HP and were very happy with them. I won’t name them but if they want to join in they can.
