Scansonic MB-2.5B vs Sonus Faber Lumina III

Thanks everybody for your feedback/comments!!!

The Scansonics the @jetter listed is being sold by Alfred Kainz if Highend Electronics. 

@musicaddict The Borresen Z3 Cryo I now own we’re sold to me by Tyler Mueller at Next Level as well. 

Both Alfred and Tyler are amongst my favorite dealers in the industry. Just wonderful people who provide incredible service. 

I never heard of Scansonic speakers. For me, I would never purchase anything regardless of great reviews and the such on blind chance. If I were making six figures a year and could afford to buy something without a physical demo beforehand, then sell them if I didn't like them, that's one thing, but I'm not making that much money/year to gamble on speakers and/or electronics. Regarding the Sonus Faber Lumina III. Wow, is all I have to say. I went in to demo the Lumina V's but they weren't available, but based on the III's demo, I would get the V's without hesitation. They more more forward than the typical SF sound, but never bright or fatiguing, or harsh. Top is bumped up a tad, but it's still nice. The midrange is to die for. The bass is present enough for me. I am trying to decide on the Lumina V or the Klipsch Forte IV. The Forte's low end is really nice, it's midrange is about the same as the SF Lumina III, maybe more points to the SF regarding this, the treble is better on the Forte because it is very tame and rounded even for a compression driver.
