Sonus Faber Grand Piano Home vs Concerto Domus

I have been looking to buy a pair of Sonus Faber Grand Piano's (Not Domus)for quite a while now, and have been very unlucky in trying to secure a pair. This has been my dream speaker for years and years and now that I am at a point to afford them, there are none to be found.

I am getting impatient and thinking maybe I will look into the Concerto Domus instead... Is this a comparable speaker to the older grand piano? Although it is only a 2-way, it looks like its frequency response matches that of the GP. Is the bass range similar?

I'm worried that they wont be the same though, and that I'll still wish I had the Grand Pianos.

Any thoughts? Anyone change from the GP to the Concerto Domus?

BTW - I have listend to the GP. Never the Concerto.

Good call. From what I've read, that Bel Canto should mate very nicely with the GPs. I have a Classe CAP-101 and am planning on evaluating the Evo2i Gen II for my next amp. It seems like Classe and Bel Canto have similar qualities -- very smooth and musical yet powerful and controlled compared to tubes.

I would tend to agree with Dtc. I owned both of these speakers and can say that the GP Domus is more accurate but the the GP Home was sweeter sounding and more musical.
If I was to make a recommendation it would be to stick to
your guns and wait for a pair of GP Homes to appear. Both speakers are excellent; but I feel the GP Home had a bit more musicality despite not being quite as accurate.

For anyone that is interested... Because of a random encounter and perfect timing, I was able to fulfill my dream and purchase a pair of Grand Piano Home speakers. I love the speakers and know I made the right choice. Beautiful speakers that produce flowing music.

I thought I saw 1 pair here exactly like mine (in wood color) less than 2 weeks ago for $1790.
Regardless of rooms or systems, couple Domus models that I auditioned did not sound the same as my SF GP Homes Series; they were a bit leaning to hi-fi sound.

You are right Nasaman, there was a pair of maple GP Homes for sale. I tried to buy them. Too late...
