Good Luck

Circuit design or chassis/faceplate? It's definitely true that the GS150 was cosmetically designed by Livio Cuccuzza, who also designs for Sonus Faber. I don't know if the circuit design is really any different or not.
However I am in agreement...like I mentioned in my earlier post, the GS150 to me sounds more "solid state", which is a bit of a departure from the "house sound".
I found the differences between the two to be subtle.
Let me just say, after hearing both in my system: YOU CANNOT GO WRONG
