Maciej, I don't know the others (I've never even heard the name Chario before), but if you ever want to hear the Signums that can be easily arranged. Like you say, I doubt they'll be a step forward from Concertos, but I don't know for sure.

Re: Looking for Sonus Faber Electa Amator
I used to have a pair of these about ten years ago. Sold them to a chap in Thailand on Audiogon.
They are a massive speaker. I lived with them very happily for over ten years and ran them with Papworth Audio M200 Valve amps. To me at the time seemed like a match made in heaven.

Some tube amplifier you had too. No wonder they were able to drive the Electa’s with 200W. I did not know such powerful tube amps exists.hifiman087 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 27, 2017 7:49 pm I used to have a pair of these about ten years ago. Sold them to a chap in Thailand on Audiogon.
