Hi there all, I was wondering if I could get some ideas on what you all thought about Sonus Faber's Concerto Grand piano speakers. I am currently shopping around for some speakers, and I have narrowed it down to a few different vendors. MLs electrostatic, B&W Nautilus, and Sonus Faber Grand piano. I am planning to use a Krell amp, and a Lexicon MC-1 with the setup.

So far I have found for my tastes:

MLs = Wide staging, not very articulate in upper registers, good bass response, but needs electic outlets, and rears are expensive.

Sonus Faber = Good staging, very tight and acurate in upper register, but not too harsh, bass response not as good as MLs.

B&W= Good full response, great upper register, but not as good as Sonus. Bass response is good too, but staging is not as tight as other two.

Plans for my system are to be a hybrid between audio and home theatre. As far as price goes the B&W are most $$$ and Sonus and MLs are equal. I read some reviews about Sonus, which kind of lead me towards them a bit too. Stereophile gave them 2nd best speaker too, which is good. I have listened to all three of them too, but I lean towards MLs and Sonus.

Any info you guys might have on these speakers would be very helpful. I'm looking to make a decision within a couple of weeks.

Thanks for any info!
