Sonus Faber Auditor M - Your Thoughts


Last week, I had a chance to listen to a pair of Sonus Faber Auditor M bookshelf speakers. These were connected to a Simaudio integrated amp and sourced by a Linn Akurate DS.

I was truely impressed with their sound and they seemed to go so deep that I found myself looking around for a subwoofer. Maybe it was the room / set-up?

Has anyone auditioned these speakers? If so, what are your thoughts?

Very nice speaker. I almost bought them until I heard the Dynaudio C1's. No comparison in my opinion. For me the auditor m were a little too laid back in the mids and once I heard the esotar2 tweeter and the added 'speed' of the sound that the C1's had to offer that was all it took for me to make up my mind to get the C1's.

That being said I will admit the bass was a hair better on the auditors. With either speaker I would have needed a sub too. Yes I have a Rel B3. And yes either speaker does sound much better when exceeding the rated minimum-nominal power.

The auditor m's were my second choice especially at its price point in my personal opinion.
