JM Labs 927 Be vs Sonus Faber GPH also the 937BE


Has anybody auditioned both these speakers, and what is your preference.

Room Size:
11*12
Music:
Classical,Indian movie music (Vocal + lot of instruments), Indian classical, & Jazz.

I am also looking at the 937Be, and the main difference between 927 seems to be in the size of woofer. How do you guys compare the 927 vs 937. Also would the 937be work given the room size.

Thank you,

I had the same problem some time ago. I compared Electra 926 and GPH and bought...........Electra of course. Better speaker.

I am not familiar with Sonus Faber speakers BUT am very familiar with JM Lab and currently own a pair of 946 Electras and have heard pretty much the whole JM Lab line. I find the 946 Electras to be a well balanced, full sounding speaker without being boomy and have great image depth as well as great detail. IMO the Focal drivers deliver speed and accuracy that rival the best electrostat or ribbon drivers. Also fit and finish and cabinet construction are top notch. The new Be tweeters are simply amazing and are considered by some to be the best tweeter in the world. Of the speakers that Whatever123 mentioned, my choice would be the 937Be but don't overlook the standard Electra series 926,36 46 as these speakers are a now a real bargain on the used market since the Be models came out and offer very close performance for a lot less money.
These speakers are starting to sound way better with the burnin, Have about 200 hours on them, need another 100 hours now I need to finish up the room treatments. Getting michel green room tune.
Yeah, I bet you need room treatments!! 937s in an 11x12 foot room? I'd say you have way too much bass in there - your spectral balance has to be all out of whack.

Focal says the minimum room size for proper driver integration on the 936/937 is 270 sq.ft. and your room is half that size. How did you place the speakers? Have you done a room response graph yet? Arthur
