Thiel or Sonus Faber??...Need help please


i am considering an upgrade from my Thiel 3.5 speakers, i am looking for a sweeter sound and i am considering Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage, but being a monitor speaker im afraid they may not have adequate bass. My system is all analog front end with Basis 2500/Graham 2.2/Koetsu Urushi, CAT ultimate pre and Classe CA-301 all with Carda Golden Cross....any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated! I listen to mostly Jazz and Classic Rock

I am trying to evaluate speakers myself at present, and I have two important messages:

1. Audiogon has helped me to create an excellent short list of speakers to listen to. However, in EVERY case, a listening session changed my interpretation of what I had read.

2. Be sure, ABSOLUTELY sure, that it is your speakers that are the problem. I have upgraded electronics over the past year and I am very inclined to contradict the "golden paradigm", namely that speakers are the most important thing in the audio chain. Speakers are almost always blamed for problems that really reside upstream.

I would evaluate my electronics very carefully before I required new speakers to do something which they may not be able to do.

Best of luck.
I moved from 3.5's to SF Electa Amators. I did miss the bottom end and added a REL Storm sub-woofer. Later upgraded once more to SF Extrema - the REL has been relegated to the home theater. I've never looked (or listened) back. IMHO there is no comparison between these manufacturers at the upper end of their respective lines.
I have very good results with the Guarneri's in combination with the SF Gravis subwoofer.
Wilson Benesch Act-one might be the right choice for your systems. The speakers can produce sweet vocals and true bass.ProAC respone2.5 is another one but prefer tube amp to drive it.
Yeah, finding a good used pair of Extrema's will be a good thing for you! "There's magic in them there speakers!"
Still, no matter what 2 channel advocates say, you can't get pottentially better bass than what a good ACTIVE WOOFER(S) can give you! The trick is in the skill and knowledge of set up!..to get blend with the mains. If you do it right, it's just like having a full range speaker with ACTIVE WOOFERS!
Good luck
