McIntosh Sonus Faber love affair, alternatives?

We have heard a lot about the McIntosh sonus faber relationship which now has been legally consummated.  Like Taylor and Travis it seems very harmonious.

I am interested in exploring an option involving infidelity.  Are there alternatives to a sonus faber speaker with a McIntosh tube amp that are just as good? Or possibly even better? Will Taylor find a better suitor or is she resigned to eternity with this Travis guy maybe for lack of really trying.

The common partnering of Sonus Faber with McIntosh has much more to do with the fact that both companies are within a common holding group than anything to do with sonic synergy.

Like all good speakers, Sonus Fabers are polyamorous when it comes to amplification.

@ghdprentice mentions B&W although they have gotten brighter throughout the years, so not sure which series or years he’s referring to … mentioned a lack of treble with McIntosh; my Focal Utopia Evo’s & McIntosh is balanced for my taste, perhaps IAL2 beryllium, or the heavy flower magnets on the 6” …
