Nicely designed speakers can last a really long time. I have a pair of old UK Made KEF Q10s I used for studio monitors for years and now are relegated to elsewhere but still sound great…20 years old maybe?
Vintage Sonus Faber vs New Scansonic
Looking for a new pair of speakers for my main system, deciding between monitors and floorstanders though monitors would prob work better, I'd love a pair of Raidhos but they're out of my price range and have heard really good things about the Scansonics (Raidhos younger sib). I was also considering a couple of the Sonus Fabers, notably the Cremona and the Olympica.
My question is while the reviews on the Cremonas are good they are dated (8-12 years depending upon whether it's the M version or not) and driver technology has advanced a lot since then. It will be hard for me to hear them against each other and wondered what the opinions are on new technology Scansonics or older technology Sonus Faber? Obviously the Olympica is current model and is probably better than the comprable Scansonics though more $$$.
Thanks for any insights.
