If I like Sonus Faber speakers.. i would like...

IMO the C2 would be a better direction,,, the C4 even more so.SF is too laid back and doesnt have enough detail 4 me..saying that if you like the SF sound stay in their line,too much money to play around these days

grand pianos are keepers....the best value in their line. unless you've got a terrible itch to spend, you can drop a bundle for a 'baby step' up the sonic ladder to a lot of marginally better products that really aren't keepers at all.

It went like this for me:

I was a B&W fan for many years and while I was awaiting delivery of the 805 N back in ‘98 or so, I was loaned a pair of Concertos from this particular salon. Suffice it to say, I never went to pick up the 805s as from that point in time, I was over B&W, so it went sort of like this:

805M>SF Concertos > add REL Storm II > Replace Concertos with Signums > sell set for Electa Amator IIs > money crunch, sell EAs and get Grand Piano's.

Some where around the time I had the Signums, I heard a pair of Verity Audio speakers for the first time. They became the "grail" speaker for me.

SF GPs > Dali Helicon 400 (very short time) > Reference 3A De Cappo i > Devore Fidelity Super 8s >> then the “Grail”: Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations...

All that to say, I think, IMO, the natural progression for one that wants to keep that something special of the Sonus Faber line, but are looking for a change in speakers, try Devore Fidelity lime and the Super 8s specifically as are fantastic speakers, on the other hand, for a wonderful and fairly large step forward go for the Parisifal Ovations and for a little less cash, give the Fidelios a listen.

Although, I toy with upgrading to the Sarastos II, I suspect I will be with the Verity Audio line till the sun sets on my audio-phile life...

Enjoy the journey!

The original Cremona or M version are in the radar.. just want to make sure I have all bases covered.. wondering would the Dynaudio C2 be a good alternative

cheers...

They look at better Sonus Fabers :-)
After the Grand Piano Home you def. want to try the Cremona Auditor (M) and after that the Cremona (M) floorstander.
