B&W vs. Sonus Faber

Thanks,
I know SR is 4 ohms vs 8 for b&w.  I wasn’t listening with same setup.  So hard to compare sounds.  Have a Macintosh amp and a high end tube amp and hear Mac does better with b&w.  Have not heard much about sf and what I have heard is good but not as strong as b&w.  Maybe the ultra high end sf spkrs are really good but the lower end of their range is not very good.

I’d think they are comparable in terms of quality. Probably find just as many that prefer either one. 
With Mc I would definitely go BW not SF. Better pairing.

very different.  I have demo’d these both with the same equipment...
B/W forward and bright...Sonus Faber smooth to veiled. You sort of need to choose a camp...like tube vs SS electronics.

(I think) B/W pair well with McIntosh because it needs more ‘sparkle’.  Similarly Sonus Fabre can take the edge off of bright or harsher sounding SS gear.  I did say ‘I think’, right? :) Ken

I have run McIntosh C2600/MC302 through Sonus Fabers.

I personally auditioned the Sonus Fabers against B&W. It’s personal choice. And there’s a lot of good choices for speakers.

I am now biased towards Sonus Fabers...I have friends who prefer Maggies and appreciate personal preference.

Therefore, my recommendation would by the Olympica Nova V. And I’d listen to Davor Fidelity...I was impressed when I heard the gibbon Super Nine and perhaps ProAc

Enjoy the process, good luck and share your ultimate selection.
