Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage vs Extrema

What is your price range???

How about the Wilson Benesch ARC's. better sounding than either. Less money as well. The WB Curves are less money than both and sound better than Sonus Faber Amati. I have heard the above at a friends house when he was auditioning speakers. Shocking isn't it!!!!

Twilo, the G's do not use a Skanning mid/woofer. They actually use a custom made driver from Audiotechnolgie.
This driver which is from Denmark is specially made for SF and is several times the cost of the Skanning drivers.
What did you hear driving the G's, because since they are so incredibly accurate, this would have a big impact on their performance.

I thought Audio Technology used to be called Skanning, just a name change?

Being a former owner of Extrema and Guarneri, I will say you can't go wrong with either. Personally I will get Guarneri, it's very coherent and refined but does lack bass. I like tube gears, Extrema just doesn't work with tubes and that explains the departure of Extrema. My room is too large for Guarneri to fill, so I settled with Amati.

Audio technology and Skaaning is the same thing

Mr. Skaaning founded audio technology, after Scanspeak also worked for Dynaudio.
