Canton or Sonus Faber


Hi all,

Day in and day out it will be Pink Floyd being played.

Anybody had any experience with Canton 809DC or Sonus Faber Cremona bookshelfs?

Just days before I buy me a pair I am having second thoughts.

Thanks in advance!

I haven't heard the Canton's in over 20 years but I did audition the SF Cremora Auditor M's about a year and a half ago and I came extremely close to buying them until I heard the Dynaudio C1's. Very smooth with a surprising amount of bass. Just a hair too laid back in the mid's for me. Never listened to the non m's.
Hey Xti16,

I will be auditioning the Canton Ventos next week most probably. The guy has them hooked to a Bel Canto CD player through an Anthem Statement power amp. Being a creative director I come across a lot of audio studios and have heard a Dynaudio active speakers set up (forgot the model number) at this one studio. Quite awesome sound.

Thanks for the reply!
I've listened to the 890DC speakers a lot, mostly being driven by Rogue M150's. They are a fast, warmish speaker and I like them a lot. Actually, I've heard quite a few members of the Vento family, both current and one generation older, and I like their sound.

I do not have any experience with the Sonus Faber about which you also asked.
