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've wanted the D2 ever since I heard it in Proac's room at CES '08. Unfortunately, I can't afford a pair of those. I could, but then it's hard for me to justify the purchase.

As for build quality, there is more to it than just a pretty cabinet. Build quality plays a huge part in the overall sound of a speaker, which is one reason why Proacs sound so good. Also I like the fact that Proacs are hand-built in England, as Sonus fabers are in Italy, and they use excellent products to build them with. I'm willing to spend more for that simple fact.

Thanks for the opinions everyone. Great info. from people who have compared both brands.

I recently sold a pair of 8 Sig's and will go with something a little larger. I want to try a pair of Proac 2's or I could sell my Krell 400xi and purchase a pair of D two's. I REALLY want a pair of D Two's.
