Sonus Faber of Wilson Sophia for McIntosh

I have heard both speakers as well. My next pair of speakers will be a pair of Cremonas. I think what strikes me is how the Sonus communicate the music. They are just voiced correctly in my opinion. You can listen for hours and will find yourself drawn into the music.

The Wilsons are no slouch either and probably have more AIR but I do not think they are as musical. Audition the Cremonas set up properly and your decision should be clear.

Good Luck to you!

I have heard both. Wilson very detailed but after 2 hours I was tired of listening to them. SF very musical I brought one of my favorite pieces of music with SF my eyes started to water,very musical

I have listened to both and I believe the Sonus Faber are easier and more enjoyable to listen to. The wilsons are modern looking, heavy, made of some type of concrete. The Sonus Faber Cremona's are made of maple with leather and they are more like beautiful furniture. I think the wood lute shape case gives a smoother warmer sound than concrete. I personally have a pair of Guarneri's which I believe I will never part with especially after hooking them up to a Graaf otl amp. It really is a personal choice. Good Luck.
