Both Tannoy and Sonus Faber make wonderful speakers. If you are looking for a darker, more relaxed sound, I would suggest looking into the older SF speakers... Their newer generations per say are more neutral and modern sounding. The older Homage line on the preowned market is where I would look.
I miss my Guarneri Mementos.
Perhaps the owners of the newer generation can chime in and prove me otherwise.
It is just one man's opinion after all.
