Wilson v Sonus Faber


Any views on Wilson Watt Puppy 6.1 vs. Sonus Faber Amati Homage? (Driven by Mark Levinson equipment) Revived audiophile waking up after 7 year sleep to update system.

Funny that you should bring up the fact that the old Wilson tweeter was terrible ( which I agree with you 100%!).
When I said the 7’s were the best, they were also better than the later 8’s as well.

A Chinese/English friend (a Wilson Nutter) owned every Watt/Puppy model, driven with the big Halcro 68’s monoblocks, I got to hear them all, in the identical position in the same room (I mean to the mm).
After the 8’s which gave him depression because he was so happy with the 7’s, he gave audio away and sold everything.

Stick with the SF Amati's, much more musical, and gorgeous to look at if your a glitz queen

I have owned Wilson and Sonus Faber Amati Tradition Homage speakers.  When I purchased the SF's, I played them side by side to the Wilson Alexia 1's.  There was not even a question in my mind that the SF sounded more musical than the Alexia 1's.  I had the Wilson Audio Duette 2's in the past.  To me it just depends on whether you like in your face sound of Wilson or a speaker that won't fatigue you in SF.  
I dunno guys… I keep listening to the Sasha Daws at my local listening room here in Coral Gables… I own a pair of SF Serafino’s… Those Wilson’s sound pretty great. Granted, my speakers are in a tiny room with no room to resonate. I’ll report back when I move the system. Maybe I should have plunked down the extra $$ for the Amati’s…?
This is an old thread but interesting because I feel these two brands have change over the years. Wilson is getting softer in the highs and Sonus Faber is betting more neutral. Their sounds have drifted a bit toward each other to my ear.
