Wilson v Sonus Faber

Also why do they get resurrected 2 DECADES after they were started? LOL

@jsautter   Funny that you should bring up the fact that the old Wilson tweeter was terrible ( which I agree with you 100%!). BUT we have to remember who Wilson were attempting to impress as their customer. The older guy with a very flexible wallet. Wilson knew ( know??) that this consumer profile probably has some hearing loss at the higher frequencies, so a tweeter that is hot and rings at high frequencies would be just the ticket. Today, and I'm not sure why, the old Focal tweeter has been replaced with a MUCH better sounding silk dome. Somebody at Wilson must have told Dave that the old tweet was a basic disaster...and he obviously finally listened. ( I suspect I know who, but I have no proof).

When I said the 7’s were the best, they were also better than the later 8’s as well.

A Chinese/English friend (a Wilson Nutter) owned every Watt/Puppy model, driven with the big Halcro 68’s monoblocks, I got to hear them all, in the identical position in the same room (I mean to the mm).
After the 8’s which gave him depression because he was so happy with the 7’s, he gave audio away and sold everything.

Stick with the SF Amati's, much more musical, and gorgeous to look at if your a glitz queen

I have owned Wilson and Sonus Faber Amati Tradition Homage speakers.  When I purchased the SF's, I played them side by side to the Wilson Alexia 1's.  There was not even a question in my mind that the SF sounded more musical than the Alexia 1's.  I had the Wilson Audio Duette 2's in the past.  To me it just depends on whether you like in your face sound of Wilson or a speaker that won't fatigue you in SF.  

I dunno guys… I keep listening to the Sasha Daws at my local listening room here in Coral Gables… I own a pair of SF Serafino’s… Those Wilson’s sound pretty great. Granted, my speakers are in a tiny room with no room to resonate. I’ll report back when I move the system. Maybe I should have plunked down the extra $$ for the Amati’s…?
