I've also recently come into the Sonus Faber camp, having purchased Cremona M's earlier this year. These are speakers that really appeal to you on an emotional level. You can point to things that other speakers do better, like deeper bass or more "air" on the top end, but at the end of the day, the Sonus Faber's put the whole package together in a way that is just so musical. The only problem I have is I can't bring myself to turn off my system when it's time to end my listening session. :-)
