Some speakers just sound inherently brighter than others, such as B&W, Magico, Focal, and many others, but by no means does this mean they're crap or incapable of sounding incredible. That's ridiculous. Sonus Faber, on the other hand, tends to sound just the opposite of the aforementioned speakers. This principle also applies to high-end components as well, such as amps, preamps, DACs, etc. That's why system synergy is critical. Make no mistake, your B&W speakers have the potential to sound absolutely incredible if paired with the right electronics and cables, which is fundamental to putting together a great sounding high-end audio system in the first place. Happy listening.
