Thanks for this amazing comparison. I prefer Diapason, my personal taste. Other 2 are different. Obviously this test shows the preference of each of us. They are all outstanding speakers.

thanks for the interesting comparison. Personally I like the Sonus Faber the most, as they are the most open and full range among the 3 speakers. Falcon is too boomy at the bottom end, while Diapason is not as silky for violin as Sonus Faber.

I got a Signum pair and IDK if gonna love them. I agree w what yore saying about Falcon. Also the facts Signum lacks of midbass range, where vocals're thin in the body or "nasal". Falcon are warmer, where comparing to Signum sound boomy, but I think thats appreciable. Electa Amator II, that I compared against Signum, got a lil step more in warmness, also are more neutral in highs

The BBC LS3/5a sounds best or the most natural amongst the 3 pairs. In my opinion, similiar size Harbeth BBC LS5/12a made during the early - mid 90s is the best small loudspeakers in the world but unfortunately discontinued. The reviews were not really good then and unfair too. Not only the LS5/12a power handling is 100watts but aslo revealed faults in the LS3/5a. If you are a LS3/5a fan, you must listen these (hard to come by) LS5/12a.

Diapason Karis for me. I had to wanted to prefer the LS3/5a but after about 20 listening I have to say Diapason for me. I here more of the wood with no resonance. I can ear the wood is rigid but not glassy and the chords are better too. Sonus Faber is second just because a little thick on the medium base, less naturally articulated in this region but very seducing. LS3/5a unfortunately last. Most manipulative sound and diffuse in a natural way but... and I have owned KEf, Rogers, Spendor and Harbeth LS3/5a. Time to buy the Diapason!

I too found as some others did that I thought the overall winner was the Falcons. However it is probably the least attractive of the 3 though. The Diapason is a work of wood art, with the SF coming in next. The poor Falcons look very modest in comparison but did seem the best balanced and might handle different genres a wee bit better. Not sure from just listening here but when a speaker has a nice balance it handles different music a little easier in my experience. However if you are lucky enough to own all 3, wow you are living large my man.

Se riesci a trovarle (le vendono usate a 100 euro) comprati una coppia di AR M1. Se puoi, fai una comparazione con le casse che stai provando. Rimarrai a bocca aperta, come successe a Mark Levinson che le "rubò" dal centro studi di Acoustic Research, utilizzandole per provare le sue elettroniche. Quelle casse sono un miracolo dell'acustica. Se le trovi, fai un audio/video comparativo. Lo meritano. Ciao da Roma.

Diapason all the way. Falcon is very pleasant to the ear, as all BBC derived speakers, but is not focused. Sonus is rather bland, nothing special, Diapason has a big sound rather larger than life, and yet accurate and detailed. Not to mention its looks.

This was a almost dead run. They do things different, it boils at a degree down to what you are used to, and what work best of equipment around them. None of them are a clear looser. When the singer takes a breath it sound to sharp on the Sonus, softer and more credible on the other two.

the characters of Diapason and Harbeth were all present in SF Signum needless to say they were magnified in a higher level. Soundstage and openness are the main char of SF more present than the two but Harbeth can drown you when it comes to mids and soundstage almst as wide as the SF.
