I think Sonus Faber is trying to thread the needle of a more audiophile sound and their past.
They make beautiful speakers, and I believe them to be quite the value. Now, with that being said, I do not believe my next speaker purchase will be a Sonus Faber product. But I appreciate their product line and price points, which make great sense with McIntosh products.

Lastly, Wilson and Magico seem to be dominating the higher-end market of speaker products, around 50K.
I do like the G2 in graphite. It is a beautiful speaker in my eyes. But I appreciate the G1, especially in the original color.

As SF is owned by the same folks that own McIntosh, it makes sense for them to work well together. I do wonder how much "room at the top" there is for speakers & gear in the $50K and up range? Time will tell..........
