Upgrade PSB Synchrony One B to Sonus Faber Grand Piano Domus?


Value at 1900 CAD? seems like a decent price. I am hearing that the low end might be a bit loose and not great for busy rock/pop/rap which is definitely part of what I will be listening to. I listen to a wide range of music but mostly indie rock, electronic, rap, pop and a bit of acoustic and jazz but definitely less than the aforementioned genres. there’s only a couple reviews out there so trying to get a better sense of if this is a good upgrade for me as I do like the PSBs. Going for a demo soon but it seems the room will be a little cramped so want to take that into account and get some impressions here as well

Running my current setup with a subwoofer cerwin vega cvhd-12s. it’s nothing special just a 12” home theatre sub but rounds out the PSBs nicely.

Powering with an onkyo tx nr676. I think I want to upgrade that if I get the SF but seems to be doing my PSBs justice.

Just a little turned off by this review since I enjoy some busier and not perfectly mixed music https://www.techradar.com/reviews/audio ... 515/review

But can’t tell if they are being critical because they are actually bad at this type of music or just not up to super high standards.

Has anyone heard these? Just want to make sure I am getting a clear upgrade. I think the PSBs are more neutral from what I understand?

Agree with everyone above. Those Sonus Fabers are really nice for certain genres, but probably not what you listen to. I'd skip them. So many other great choices in that price range to choose from.
