Sonus Faber speakers - what's your experience?

They’re wonderful speakers that do many things right and look gorgeous as well. If you’re looking for neutral or detail monsters, they might not be for you as they tend to be a little on the romantic side of things. I owned Olympica II and really liked them. Wouldn’t mind owning another SF in the future. I didn’t find them to be fussy with placement but they do give you more if you provide more breathing room. 
 

I only sold them because I wanted to try something different and not necessarily due to any shortcomings. Having said that, I preferred the Olympica line over Lumina. Not a huge difference but Olympica had a bit more of the SF magic. Of course they continue to get better as your move up in the lineup. 

Thanks, @tosnc--I wasn't completely sure on what I thought were the Aida's.

And, thank you, @arafiq & ​​@soix, for your input; all good to know!

When tweeter carried SF I only remember trying to sell a kidney to get a pair. I still think of my VA beethovens as poor mans sonus faber 

I had the Sennetto III in my house and compared them directly to Focal Aria 926.    The Sennetto bested the 926s with voice and strings.  The 926 were a little better at filling the room with music and a little better with rock music or should I say I liked them better.  But I just could not get over the cheesy plastic like base of the Sennetto.  

I have had 3 sets - Venere 3.0, Sonetto V and Olympica Nova V. 
 

I like SF. And there’s a lot of great speakers out there
