I LISTENED TO MANY WHEN PURCHASING MY QUADS. PRICES FROM $400 TO $6000 PER PAIR. I HAD SEVERAL VARIABLES TO ACCOUTN FOR. I LISTENED TO EVERYTHING IN TWINCITES AND THEN WENT TO CHICAGO FOR THREE DAYS. YES, THE SONUS WERE IN THERE. THOUGH VERY GOOD, I THINK MANY PURCHASE WITH THERE HEARTS AS WELL AS THEIR EARS. SONUS ARE VERY ATTRACTIVE. BUT, I WOULD PURCHASE THE ONES I MENTIONED OVER THE SONUS, PURELY ON PERFORMANCE PER DOLLAR. THE JOSEPH AND REVEL M20 ARE HARD TO BEAT REGARDLESS OF PRICING, THEY HAPPEN TO BE IN THE $2000 PER PAIR.
THE SONUS ARE QUICK,ACCURATE, DETAILED. THE SOUNDSTAGE SEEMS TO BE SMALLER AND DEPICTION OF WHERE INSTRUMENTS ARE ON STAGE ARE LESS ACCURATE THAN QUADS. SONUS SEEM MORE LAID BACK, QUADS BRIGHTER. I WOULD CHOOSE SONUS OVER 11LS. I WOULD CHOOSE 12LS OVER SONUS. BASED INDEPENDENTLY OF LOOKS AND MONEY.
