Magico V2 vs. Sonus Faber Cremona M

Hi, I'm pretty new to high end hifi and this is my first posting here. So this question might sound silly but I hope the gurus can help me out here.

I'm seriously considering the Magico V2 or the Sonus Faber Cremona M. Can anyone share on the different characterictics of these 2 floorstanders in terms of soundstaging, imaging, bass, transparency, airiness, clarity, musicality?

Also what amp would best match these 2 speakers? I favour integrated amps.

Personal audition is very difficult and inconvenient for me as I would have to drive 200km to do it. So I depend very much on reviews and forums. Your response would be greatly appreciated and welcomed.

In the 20K range there is the Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation, and at half that price the Verity Audio Rienzi. They both work well with Luxman integrateds (509u or 590Aii). I really liked the Cremona M until I heard the Parsifals - they simply took my breath away!

I don"t know if there is a Verity Audio dealer in KL, but I know that there is one in Singapore.

Selamat malam!

Verity Audio dealer in KL? Not that I know of. And that goes for Quad, Maggies, Martin Logan and Soundlab. So you see....my choices are pretty limited :(

i would drive 200km+ to just audition these speakers.
I have heard both and they are great.
Its a matter of preference: accurate or beauty.
Either one would be awesome systems & I can live with.
Its more of a personal preference.
good luck! great choices

Jtein,
For an excellent integrated amp look at what Gryphon has to offer. If your voltage is 220-240v, you'll find used ones on Europe as Gryphon is more common there. They are also popular in the orient.
