Proac or Sonus Faber Monitor Speakers



In general, what are the differences between these two brands? I've owned several models of Proacs in the past (Tablette line) and love them so much that I never look at any other brands now when perusing Agon for prospective buys.

I'm considering trying Sonus Faber though, they always get good reviews and have excellent build quality as Proacs do.

Any thoughts?

I might sound overly harsh but frm my own experience with Sonus Faber Concertos and Concertinos I have to say that these are not really speakers.
They are exercise in cabinet making. Were they remain just a cabinets they would have been wonderful, but they usually ruined by expensive drivers and crossover designed by imbecile.
If you plug Concertinos into your amplifier and able to hear anything other than boomy midrange and sloppy bass then you might have bigger problems...Concertinos as well as Concertos have pretty names but they really just Home Theater speakers and very bad ones at that.
Sonus Faber Conecrtino as well as Grand Piano are Home theater speakers, designation by manufacturer. And that is how they sound. They should not be mentioned on audio forums but hey a lot of other junk being discussed here, so there we go again.
Ye Sonus Faber are pretty, yes they use expensive parts and fexpensive drivers. yes you can search Ebay and will find a bunch of them for sale at any time of the day for a fraction of their retail. But none of these factors important to me. I have hearing, and when I hear live musical sound I know it is not coming from Sonus Faber Concertino or Grand Piano. Those speakers are to audio is what Samuel Adams is to beer. If you like both then you just one lucky guy... "and a living is easy".
Acoustat 3 is better that Wilson Alexandria? 600.00 speaker form last century is better than Wilson? See when you make statements like that I know there must be something wrong with your head. Fortunately I heard Wilson Alexandria last weekend and I am just gong to say again : You are very lucky man and I bet life for you is a bliss.
