Sonus Faber has a loyal following, as do Jim Salk's speakers. The Audiocircle forum has a Salk speciic forum and many former VMPS (and other speaker mfg) owners swear by their HT3's. There is one universal comment about them, though, they are a magnificent piece of furniture. It's almost too high a praise, as in "she has a GREAT personality". But beyond looks, many of my audio pals are very much audio purists who demand great sound, and they love the HT3's. Sorry I haven't heard either, but thought the AC forum info would help you find folks who have listened to many speakers vs HT3's.
Salk HT3 vs Sonus Faber Domus Grand Piano
Ok yeah this is another one of those "which is better" posts, but I am genuinely befuddled in my last phases of speaker choice. Personally I love the seperation, definition that the Sonus Faber Grand Piano has. I like to hear the structure of the music, even if it is a little too revealing. I also really like the looks of those puppies.
Enter the HT3...
But after reading through the reviews and the posts, it seems that Jim Salks speakers are really hard to beat. People seem to prefere the overall sound quality and are calling out the Sonus Faber crossovers as less than perfect. In fact it seems that people might put the HT3 in the same class as some the Cermona or even higher priced 3way towers from SF.
The cabinet is a bit bulky for me application but if the sound quality is far superior I think my short list might need to get reordered.
So has anyone heard a side by side test of the SF vs the HT3?
