Bookshelf Speakers for Large Room

The Sonus Fabers are really beautiful speakers!  Have you had a chance to hear them as well?  If so what did you like, what didn’t you like, why not buy them?

Fritz builds a really nice speaker called the Carrera BE.  They sound fantastic.  They use a 7” scan speak woofer with a Beryllium tweeter.  They aren’t as beautiful as the Sonus Fabers but the Carreras sound sublime.  The problem you may run into though is that they are rear ported.  
I think you’d be better off with a speaker that has a front port or no port at all.  The ATC’s that I mentioned sound really good as well and are a sealed design, which may work better for your application.  The ATC’s come in white which might fit your decor better.

You can just snap a picture of the built in and easily uoload it under your profile under your “virtual system”

Something I'm not quite understanding is whether you are going with a sub. Subs will limit the power to the satellites, and increase your dynamic range.

If you can, I also recommend Fritz, in a sealed enclosure, with a sub (if he makes sealed).

I uploaded a picture of my built in.  I currently have KEF R series speakers that I am upgrading.  Here is a link.

Why not buy them?  I probably will.  I listened to them and loved them.  The reason I am asking is because all of the other bookshelves I have listened to were $6K-$8K and these are $16K.  I just want to make sure I am not missing something that is out there.  Wilson only has the Tunetot, B$W the 805’s, and there is not much around me (Orlando) that I have found to sample.  

As for the sub, I currently have dual Sunfire subs but they are in the cabinet behind acoustically transparent material.  I will see how well they sound with the SF’s.  I do watch movies and so really need subs, but I want them to blend well with music first and foremost.

I heard the Borresen 1 stand mounted at RMAF last year in a few rooms and was impressed with what two little boxes could do. But the last room I saw them in was a very large room and I heard the coming up the hall and was shocked when I saw that all that sound was coming out of two little boxes. I am not sure of the cost, but if you have the opportunity, give them a listen.
