Dalis Euphonoa MS5 vs Sonus faber Cremona vs

nobody dares yet?

Any help from the experts

Hi Armandito,

If you're considering this general speaker 'neighborhood' I'd recommend auditioning the Wilson Benesch ACT (or perhaps Curve) and also the Piega C8 limited.

They share a lot of the cabinet design features of the Dali, Cremona, and Krell, and are generally regarded to have exceptional detail and dynamic sound.

(Both the ACT and the C8 lt'd have been reviewed in Sterophile, FYI.)

Good luck,

Wow.is it a coincidence or fate, that I was looking at the Wilson benesh myself today when I received my stereophile magazine.who Is a dealer anyway of those speakers?

Armandito,

Assuming you're in the US- The Sound Organization is the US distributor (www.soundorg.com). Otherwise, I'd check the WB website. In my neck of the woods, Audio Vision SF (San Francisco) does a great job of displaying and selling Wilson Benesch- occasionally, they sell demos online.

For what it is worth, I own and love the WB ACT Ones (the predecessor of the current ACT)- I've briefly heard the ACT and ACT One side by side- to my ears, the ACT improves on the ACT One, most noticeably in the deep bass and more subtly in resolution. Both of them do an uncanny job of dissapearing and getting out of the way of the music.

They may not end up suiting your specific musical preferences or integrating in your system, but I'd definitely recommend auditioning them.
