Well, it's obviously a matter of taste. For me, they knocked spots off the (considerably more expenive) Sonus faber Guarneri Memento which I also listened to but found rather dark and lacking "air". The Accordos mid-range and treble were not far away from the Chiaras, but obviously they lost out a bit in the bass. No doubt SAM would compensate for that if needed.
> By the way if they're anything like the sonus faber olympica 2 (owned before) then they're definitely not for me.
That I caouldn''t say, as I haven't heard the Olympica 2. Anyway, I hope you enjoy choosing and end up making a good decision.
