B&W N803 VS Sonus Faber Cremona

Jms_123, there will be two N803 speakers available in January, the N803D ($8000) and N803S ($5500).

Sonus Faber way...better , another league !

Two very different speakers. I agree with Bigkidz on the generalities. If you feel that your current setup needs warmth, the SF and McIntosh will do it. If you feel it is fine, then stick with B&W. Chances are, if you like one speaker, you won't like the other. Good luck! Arthur

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. we originally auditioned the SF, my wife loves them; but due to our budget, we settled with the n805. It just recently that we wanted to upgrade, we auditioned the SF again over the weekend, they sounded excellent w/the above musics, we will most likely go with the SF. Besides the Mac, just wondering what type of integrated that is a good pair with the mac??? again, thx everyone in advance. Ken

The SF love power. Most of the time I have seen them paired with larger Krell mono blocks.
