Spendor S8e vs. Sonus Faber Grand Piano

I've heard both of these speakers in my system and felt that the Spendor, while open and dynamic w/excellent bass, was a bit unkind to digital sources. (The new S series departs from the Spendor Classic series' Scan-Speak D2010s, and this is most likely the reason.) The Sonus Faber seemed more balanced, and I would have probably settled with it.

both are great speakers, but i've gotta say that for the money it doesn't get much better than the grand pianos for a very wide variety of music. tonally both are dead-on for jazz and folk, but the pianos can and do rock, as a well designed speaker should.

IMO the Grand Pianos are a superior choice.(Yes, I own a pair)The current GP homes have just been discontinued and replaced with an updated model which is now viewable on the SF home page. If it were me, I would snatch up a pair of the Grand Piano homes at a deal...
