Pimp my speakers: Sonus Faber vs. Focal

I have always liked Sonus.  They are built to a different standard.   My Dads Concerto still sound great and they have to be over 20 years old.   I bought them on the old Want Ad weekly for $1000 with stands.  What a great deal that was.      I would love to find a pair of Cremona used locally....  I am always looking but they seldom pop up used

Well, I just put my 50% down on my order.  Got the Sonus Faber Olympica Nova 5s and a new Roon Nucleus + server.  Can’t wait until they get in!

That will be a great purchase for a longtime, enjoy. 
I might have gone that roughy if I was not worried about the kiddos and what they call “grills”.  

Congrats on the Nova 5's!  Thanks for the thread, as I'm also currently going between Focal and Sonus Faber.  I'm interested in Sonetto VIII, but you cannot find nice used sets and the list price is $7k.  For that much money or less, you can find nice used sets of Kanta 2! 

OP congradulations.
