Joseph Audio RM 25si vs Sonus Faber Grand Piano

I have a room that is 20'9" x 12'4". The speakers will sit 6" on each side of a wide screen tv, and 24" from the back wall. The speakers will be 72" apart from each other. I have not been able to demo the two side by side, since they are at different stores. For components I am looking at Rotel vs. B&K. The speakers will be used for audio and HT. Has anyone auditioned them together, or have any opinions. Thanks for the help.

I prefer the Sonus Faber Grand Piano Homes over that particular Joeseph Audio speaker. But -- you should listen to both of them before you make your decision.

I heard the Joseph audio line with CJ tube gear and it sounded plenty warm. I heard the Sonus Faber Grand Piano Homes with a Plinius SA250 MkIV. IMO, these are both fine speakers, will both give you detail, etc. I would *not* say they are at *opposite* ends of the spectrum. For me, the Joseph's were a tad laid back and ultra smooth, while the Homes were a little more dynamic. But, you know what all of this proves? That
different ears hear these speakers differently -- and that's why you need to get out and listen to everything in that price range. Sonus Faber, Revel F-30, Monitor Audio GR 60, B & W...everything. Every set of speakers sound different. And, you might want to consider buying used so you get more for your money.
