Sonus Faber Guarneri's

I'm mulling the idea of dialing up the performance of my second system and am considering the SF Guar's. I have an AirTight 8W SE amp driving Spendor LS3/5A's, so I'd need more ooomph from the amp (looking at a Lectron JH50). So any comments on the SF's - haven't heard much lately - vis-a-vis the Spendors? Speaker cable recomm's (I have AudioNote KSL copper now, thinking about Omega Micro...)?

Also, I know SF changed the construction from 8 to 7 panels a few years back, and thought I remember a possible tweeter change about then also. Any advice on new versus older model?

Thanks for the feedback.

Because I am doing the research thing [near new Cremonas vs used Guarneri Homage's]. I got into your thread and noted your comment on the G's finish problem. Can confirm this as I am looking at a pair here in Tokyo where the cloudiness is definately present in spots; along with a similar discoloration on top near the edges.
They sure do sound nice though!
And they are asking over $6k for them, used, with the blemishing?! It is a deal where it is easy to wait and see if they soften. Regards, Dave
