Finally heard the Sonus Faber Sonetto floorstanders today at Audio Nirvana, Delhi today... Excellent sound as I heard them with a Rega Integrated (can't remember model) as well as a Unison Research Hybrid Unico Nuvo tube integrated. I preferred the sound with the Unison Research but then that's me. The mids were crystal clear, crisp and neutral which was surprising as Unison Research is known for a warm tubey sound but I guess the hybrid combines the best of both worlds.. Tracks heard:
1) Signs of Life - Pink Floyd - I had always heard water in the beginning but for the first time heard the oars of a boat as well.. superb.
2) Take Five - George Benson - Chose an average recording just to hear what the speakers can do and it played it much better than my Tannoys...
I heard both the Sonetto 3 as well as the 5 and while 3 was very good, the 5 had a bigger bass driver and therefore preferred stereo on the bigger speakers.. the 3 with a sub sounded lovely but the bigger ones did not need a sub... Have my eyes on the smaller SF sealed sub .. However my hopes of buying were crashed by the stock market today and I will have to come back in 6-9 months with the money...
There are tons of Home Theatre Sonus Faber in wall speakers with in wall sub woofers as well but I did not bother listening as HT is not my area of interest..
