Salk HT3 vs Sonus Faber Domus Grand Piano

Ok yeah this is another one of those "which is better" posts, but I am genuinely befuddled in my last phases of speaker choice. Personally I love the seperation, definition that the Sonus Faber Grand Piano has. I like to hear the structure of the music, even if it is a little too revealing. I also really like the looks of those puppies.

Enter the HT3...

But after reading through the reviews and the posts, it seems that Jim Salks speakers are really hard to beat. People seem to prefere the overall sound quality and are calling out the Sonus Faber crossovers as less than perfect. In fact it seems that people might put the HT3 in the same class as some the Cermona or even higher priced 3way towers from SF.

The cabinet is a bit bulky for me application but if the sound quality is far superior I think my short list might need to get reordered.

So has anyone heard a side by side test of the SF vs the HT3?

I found the Domus series to be a poor value with the Euro being so high. They don't sound bad, but there are much better choices in their price range. I felt they did had rolled highs and lacked image depth and air.

I have listened at length to the Cremonas as well, and I purchased Dali Helicon 800's instead which were significantly cheaper and offered many of the same strengths with less tradeoffs (I found the Cremonas to really lack drive and excitement with rock and pop music). When they released the Cremonas I think retail was around $6500, now they are at $9000 due to currency shifts, no longer much of a bargain for the money IMHO.
