Thank you for the replies! I should have given more info in my first post, sorry.
My wife read all the replies too. So, let me try to give more info.
The Sonus Faber was a monitor. I still cannot recall the model.
With the Harbeths/ATC/Spendor, she said the vocals sounded flat. That was her exact word, flat.
I agree SF and LS50 are different sounding speakers. She probably again went for the vocals only (not necessarily same sound but probably the way she likes it). She does not like when the vocals make that "TISSSSS" sound where it scratches your ears. She also likes good bass, more than I do for sure.
We pretty much listen to similar music and not limited to artists below. We listen to heavy metal and rap the least probably.
Radiohead
Beck
Coldplay
Wilco, etc.
Lately, she started to listen more jazz/female vocals like me (I love female vocals).
Norah Jones
Diana Krall
Billie Holiday
Agnes Obel
Fay Claassen,etc.
We do not have the biggest room, about 300sq ft. but the problem is the ceiling (wood) is low, only 6ft.
Let's get back to recommendations.
All the brands I know and some I have heard. I always wanted to hear the Vandersteens but never had a chance to.
Let me rephrase Johnny because this is exactly what I want to achieve. ".. feel the music instead of analyzing parts of the stereo."
I want to sit down and enjoy the music without any distraction and without trying to find out what can be better with my system.
Anyway, although we cannot probably find all the speakers to audition but we will do our best :)
Thanks again!
