Sonus Faber Extrema vs. Guarneri

rubinken,Putting aside the differences in age and the wealth of tech: knowledge garnered during that time, to me it is still a "no contest" vote!
the Extrema ,imho still holds the hallmark of fundemental truth that even the "full range" homages don't replicate
Indeed, sometimes LESS IS MORE!
To be fair have NOT heard the new memorial edition, but just look for a used Extrema ...it's like hen's teeth!

Extrema, no doubt. But the others are less expensive to both buy and operate (i.e. amplification and set-up).

I have heard both,though not in comparison.Both fine products,BUT,the Extrema blew me away,with it's dynamic/harmonic presentation!!They are my favorite Sonus product.A classic,in every way!BTW--they do benefit from an add on super tweeter,as the fine silk dome rolls a bit too low.Other than that,"world class"!Oh,I forgot to add,STUNNING looks as well.Different and gorgeous!

Best!

Wow, there's 100% agreement that the Extremas are 'superior' to the Guarneri. That's impressive when I realize they're about 15 years old. I don't see Extremas available for purchase frequently.

1)Any guesstimate as to used price per pair of Extremas with stands?
2)Should I have any oncerns about how old/used they would be?
