Sonus Faber Cremona Vs. Dynaudio Contour S3.4


Hi

Am building a new system based on a ML pre-power combination. Speakers on my shortlist are:

1. Sonus Faber Cremona
2. Dynaudio Contour S3.4

I have read the various reviews on the S3.4 posted but have yet to read ones for the Cremona.

I am afraid that with the ML, the more neutral sounding Dynaudio's may be bright on the top end. I understand that SF's tend to have a rolled off top end in the past and are more musical.

Opinions appreciated.

Thanks

I listened to all new contour speakers (1.4, 3.4 and 5.4).
I liked the 3.4 best, because it's less revealing than the 5.4 and has a better balanced sound.
I've heard them in different setups, best results where achieved with the good old ML no.29 and Bryston pre-amp. I wonder which ML amps do you own?
Although I like Sonus Faber, I prefer Dynaudio because of their more neutral character and the abbility to play every type of music at very high volumes. Sonus Faber's are far from optimal for huge orchestral works and rock music.
