B&W N803 VS Sonus Faber Cremona


I am a newbie, please offer your advice on whether you would recommend the 803 or the cremona. My wife and I mostly listen to vocal jazz; krall, monheit, n.jones and lately opera..
Our existing components: rotel 1066, 1095, planet 2k, n805. Possibly upgrade to integrated mac6900

Thank you very much in advance.

The Sonus are some of the sweetest speakers I have ever heard. Vocals, piano, small Jazz will sound excellent on them. B&Ws are overall very nice but not up to the SF for the above type of music. That being said, the Sonus need some wattage to come alive so you may be under powering them.

Here is an honest review of the Sonus.

Happy Listening.

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