Preference - Sonus Faber, Dynaudio or Focal

Hello,

I am about to pull the trigger and purchase main speakers. After auditioning many I am down to 3. Sonus Faber Cremona M, Dynaudio Confidence 2 and the Focal Electra 1038 BE. I really like all 3 but have never been able to audition them in the same place. The Focal was never in contention as I was unfamiliar with them however they were awesome! I liked them over The B & W 802D and they were thousands less. I cant believe the sound that comes out of The Sonus, such a small speaker compared to the others I demo'd and just love the sound. The Dyno's really look appealing have a nice smooth sound.
A tough choice.
Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Before I ever heard Dynaudio the Creamora auditors m were at the top of my list. I really liked the overall presentation although a little 'laid back and warm'. Then I heard the Dyn C1's and that was the sound I was looking for and just had to have them.

Now that being said this was at 2 different dealers. I brought my speakers that I wanted to replace because it was my reference of what I was used to and wanted to achieve. Needless to say I bought the Dyn's and since upgraded to the signatures. IMO the SF look better but I didn't buy for looks, I bought for the sound. That's my opinion

Good Luck

The SF's are very nice but the main difference when I was looking at the monitors both the SF and Dyn's were the same price. Not sure what I would have done had there been a lower price on the SF's. As much as I prefer floorstanders they just don't work well in my room. Anyhow congratulations!!!
