Sonus Faber Electa Amator III vs. the Bowers and Wilkins 805 D4?


I have heard both the Sonus Faber Electa Amator III and the Bowers and Wilkins 805 D4 but each were in markedly different environments.  Anyone been able to make a more direct comparison than I have been able?  I would be using a Luxman L-590 AxII Class A integrated amp at home.

I recently set up a pair of Electa Amator III for my Dad.   These speakers are special.   Beautiful sounding , build quality is off the chart.   Haven't heard the latest B&W 804 but I lean more toward the SF sound anyway....

I don't think you can go wrong with the SF.

They are clear and sound big.  Excellent bass for a small enclose.  They are paired with a McIntosh MA 8950    You should try to listen to a pair , it’s an expensive proposition to buy either so if you can demo it’s worth the effort.
