Canton or Sonus Faber

I shopped many months for a replacement for my Dynaudio 52SE speakers. I ended up getting a pair of the Sonus faber Cremona M Auditors + stands. I had listened to various Dynaudio models (1.4S, C1, Special 25) and other (Vienna Acoustic, B&W, Spendor). I kept coming back to the SF. The price for the SF were right after manufacturere and dealers discount. I am very happy with the purchase - still breaking in. The WAF is esquisite.

The speakers and stands retailed for $7000 ($5800 + $1200)- I was able to work it down to $5200 with tax ot the door.
