How did you find the Sonus faber evos and the BW 802d3?

The Sonus Faber's had some strong points, like a high degree of transparency, a rich midrange, and a big, wide, deep soundstage. Obviously the low bass was not there, but that's less important to me because I can fill in with a subwoofer. However, I found its tonal balance to be quite dark, which was not so much to my liking.
The B&W's were pretty good but somehow the sound lacked the coherence and ultimate musicality of the Sopra 3's. The bass of the 802D3's was the best of all the speakers I auditioned, but I found the midrange to be a bit cold and clinical, whereas the Sopra's midrange was warm and full of body, like real live music.
