Very difficult to say. I haven't had the Buschhorns and the Aurum Cantus's at the same time, but I have had the Sticks and the Leisure's at the same time. The Aurums have more considerably more bass and a bit sharper highs. The mids of the Buschhorns and Sticks is less held back and a bit smoother. The reason that I sold the Aurum Cantus's isn't because I found the DIY speakers much better sounding, but rather that I wanted some money available to get into speaker building a bit more serious. Also, I had a rather expensive vacation coming up, which played a part in deciding to sell them.
If I have to split the comparison between lows, mids, and highs, the Aurums win the lows by a large margin and the highs by a very small margin. The mids though go to the TangBand W4-655 based speakers.
The Buschhorns and the Sticks weren't made as an 'end all be all' type of speaker, but rather as a fun and relatively inexpensive project. Still looking for that perfect speaker to build. I'm probablly building another fullrange project soon, an open baffle based around a set of Hawthorne 15" drivers.
Seeing your beautiful setup makes me miss them though.
