I have both. I put the Guarneris in storage years ago. I had a large room. I in no way want to put down the ghs. But I now have the extremas in my bedroom. They are driven by the devialet 200 with great sucess. I have a bd105 for sacd player. The combination leaves me happy. The bass has slam the mids are exquisite. I previously had them in the larger living room with the cj 16 pre. The Modwright bd 205, and the cj half art amp. Again wonderful.
it is true that the lack of extreme highs is audible. But it still is so good from voice to chamber to full orchestra that I leave it in The system with joy. Next I will try the townshends to see it that buys me better clarity. Other speakers I have are the Amati homage the electa amator 2. The auditor. All are good but the extrema is on par with the amatis despite the hf roll off.
Sonus Faber Guaneri Homage or Extremas?
If you guys had a choice of getting the Guaneri Homage or the Extremas which would it be? I have a Mcintosh 352 amp to run them and a Mcintosh Mcd 500 to play material through. Also have a Rel Stentor Mk ll at my disposal.
