Sonus Faber Question


I spent (wasted?) a lot of time switching amplifiers in and out of my system, never quite achieving the sound I was chasing. There were a lot of sideways moves. Then I purchased a demo pair of Sonus Faber Sonetto III's. After playing these through my system I finally feel I'm headed in the right direction. This speaker sound signature is the type of sound I've been seeking out. However, I get the feeling these speakers are really just scratching the surface of what Sonus Faber can offer. Unfortunately, I'm not independently wealthy. So the question is what speaker would you recommend as the next appreciable step up to capture more of the Sonus Faber essence / what should I expect to have to pay on the used market to get there? Thanks in advance!

Sonus Faber Sonetto III's

HiFi Rose RS250A

Denafrips Pontus II 12th

Rega P6, Neo PSU w/ Hana low MC

+1 @ghdprentice who knows SF speakers very well. After speakers upgrade, likely next sonic move is to upgrade your electronics (integrated). So assuming you take @ghdprentice speaker update advice, after breakin and extended listening, if you still want improvement then reach out again with your current thoughts and which direction you’d like to go.

@jdm11 - it's good to explore electronics, but if you purchase speaker first, it's probably better that after break-in it'll be much more informative determining which way sonically you wish to go so that we can make better suggestions
