Sonus Faber speakers - what's your experience?

Hi!

I finally got to hear some Sonus Faber speakers the other day. Just two different models: the Lumina V's and the Aida's. The audition space for both, was a hotel room (the Audio Advice Live show, in Raleigh, NC). I was impressed.

Can any of y'all owners (past or present) weigh in on personal experience with them? Are they difficult with placement? Room corrections? If you moved away from them, what were the reasons?

I just found the fact that they sounded so good in hotel rooms, with little room treatments, pretty impressive.

Thanks!

I have always like SF,  my Dad has Concertos , Concertinos , and Solo and it's a great sounding g system with music or movies.   Granted they are 20 plus years old but they still impress.   

I was at Fidelis in NH a few months ago , they had some serious SF models on display and the ones that were playing when I walked in sounded incredible.  Sure they were $20k but if you have the right electronics (and money) they are worth it .

oddiofyl - coincidentally, I am considering a trade for a pair of Concertinos for a secondary system.  They'd be used in an apartment primarily for vocal music, some low key jazz, blues and rock and paired with a Martin Logan sub.  I've not heard them, but reviews say midrange is good and SF has a great reputation.  Any experience you can share?  Thanks.

Just heard a pair of SF Olympica Nova V`s this weekend. We listened to a pair of Magico M5`s in the same room same gear.

All of us agreed thar the Nova V`s were more musical sounding.

The Magico`s were sterile sounding in comparison.

I`ll be shopping for Sonus Fabers....
