Sonus Faber Elipsa

Unless you are strictly into rock, acid rock or rap - They should do all you want & more!
They do have the speed, bass, soundstage & dynamics to produce real music @ moderate to high listening levels.
If you are into classical, jazz & vocals - You will have it all in one hell of a sweet l@@king package.
Just make sure that the rest of your equipment is up to par as they are unforgiving & will root out any/all shortcoming's in your ststem.
75 wpc of either EL 45's 0r 300 B's will bring out the best & sweetest sound you have ever heard - I prefer the latter.

Paladin, isn't the new Elispa similar to the Amati? Although the Amati has (I believe) 2 woofers and the Elispa has one?

Rick, I guess you mean to compare the elipsa with the stradivarius, which also have the eliptical cabinet.
Anyone out there who have heard both an would like to give some notes as to how they compare?

Torres -

Yes...thanks for cleaing that up, Torres!

I have had/owned the Amati's & now own the Stradavari's.
I have only heard the Elispa's once & they fall somewhere in-between - but I heard them in another mans system & I cannot compare them to my own.
The Amati Anniversario is a glorified Amati - Still lacking in the low end (bass) compared to the Elipsa or Strad.
The Elipsa is a step down Stradavari.
Unfortunatelately - There are no free rides & you get what you pay for.
Anything SF makes is a great speaker in looks, finish & sound.
It all really depends on what type of music you listen to & how deep your pockets are.
