Sonus Faber Concerto & Concertino


I know these are no longer in production and that there are two versions, the most recent being the Home. Can anyone who does or has owned them give me general impressions? How about specific differences btw the two versions? How easy are they to drive? If you sold them, what did you get that you like better?

Also, it'd be interesting to explain what kind of presentation you seek - "musical" or "accurate"? And, anybody buy Sonus Faber based pretty much on looks? I'm almost willing to at this point, along with Opera.

I owned the Concertino years ago, and was considering the Concerto before I bought the Concertino. The Concerto was a bit more explosive, more detailed, and had better bass, but I couldn't afford it at the time, so I got the Concertino. The Concertino was a very nice speaker--warm, relaxed-sounding, decently detailed, good soundstager. I sold it because I thought it wasn't dynamic or detailed enough for my tastes. Beutiful speaker, though, and if you can find one for a good price, you definitely could do a helluva lot worse.
