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.

Another speaker you may want to look at because it costs about half of the SFG, has a similar look (battenboard), great musicality, easy to drive (89dB w/ a very benign load), and 30-35 Hz bass response would be the JM Reynaud Offrandes.

I own a pair and have been extremely pleased with them, and Bob Neill has reviewed alot of the Spendor, Harbeth, and JM Reynaud models and compared and contrasted them quite a bit so you could probably get a good feel for them off of his various reviews on Positive Feeback and Enjoy the Music.
