I felt the Westminster to be so room dependent not to mention the ridiculous size. They are ruthlessly revealing of all FLAWS in the system and none are perfect. My experience with them was a nightmare and I took a huge loss trying to sell them due to there size, shipping cost and limited fans in the US. I believe the Sonus Faber are a more user friendly and just down right pleasant to listen to. Don't get me wrong here the Sonus Faber is very revealing as well but I feel they highlight the positive. I vote for the Sonus Faber a beautiful one as well. You will get tired of the Westminster IMHO..
