Scansonic MB-2.5B vs Sonus Faber Lumina III


Has anyone heard the Scansonic MB-2.5B? I don’t have a Scansonic dealer in my area and the only references I have is the online reviews. I am in the process of upgrading speakers narrowed down to the Scansonic and Sonus Faber Lumina III

@missioncoonery Which Primaluna did you have, and did you upgrade the tubes and fuses in them? In stock form, PL is not so great, but considering the OP's system, it's not a bad choice. Upgrading to top notch tubes and upgrading the fuses, as well as aftermarket power cable all take the PL to another level.

Based on the price point/choice, Scansonic appear to the more attractive choice based on spec/build/aesthetic.

Lumina is in SF's "value" line and accordingly, is built as expected-offshore parts, maybe assembled in Italy? Haven't listened Luminamodel, but plenty of previous year models. I'm sure they sound as expected for their PP.

Both models will sound great with SS or tubes-your ears and wallet can decide.
