Sonus Faber Extrema vs. Guarneri

As I dream & wonder- Has anyone compared these two speakers? Differences? Similarities? Your preference & reasons?

I know there's a new & pricey Guarneri Momento as well. Big Bucks!

Best!

Not as good as the Audio Artistry Beethovens with Rowland gear('96 CES), but VERY nice.

The Extremas need great clean power. They sound best with gears like Gryphon Antileons, Pass labs XA series and other similar Class A stuff.
