Sonus faber lumin v or sonetto iii


I am going to listen to these speakers at my local audio store.Anyone have insight on these two speakers.

This is going to be my end game speaker. Should I look at Sonetto 5 instead of the 3.My amplifier has enough power to drive these speakers.

I own Lumina V's

I think they are very nice smooth sounding speakers, good bass, super attractive, well priced

not the best for poorly recorded tracks and dynamic compression at higher volumes especially with rock and electronic

all my audiophile friends who have come over rate them higher than I do

not endgame but best in class

FWIW at their asking price there is value, I also feel that once you start getting north of 3k for a new speaker budget you're likely seeking a quality of sound that you can't get for 3k new but can for 3k used

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I will be looking to compare lumina 5 to sonetto 3.This will be last purchase of speakers.
