Sonus faber spkrs- any comments?I


I had a real eye opener today. It was my day off and I decided to go by my local brick and mortar audio store(tweeter). Anyway this store has everything from vcr's to sonus faber spkrs which prompted me to write this post. Before I listened to the fabers I got a chance to audition the nice sounding Vienna Acoustics(Mozart,Beethoven)spkrs. Like I said nice sounding but they did not come close to the awsome sounding fabers(concertino). Holy invisible batman.These spkrs flat out vanished. They were a good 10 ft apart and get this powered by a Yamaha reciever! Incredible soundstage and very musical. Coltrane surely smiled down from heaven when the salesman put on blue train. He even invited me to bring my rig(AE-3 pre,Audible Illusions s-120 amp) to the store since they don't have a take home policy. My next spkr? Stay tuned.

Thanks Chris for the info. I have to clear up something I said in reference to the VA's. I stated that I listened to the beethovens in comparison to SF's. In fact the spkrs were the bachs. My thanks to Mike for the clarity. Bret
Yes I agree the spkr set-up at Tweeter is at best ill. More show than go. However as both the VA and the Fabers are high end products I can not see Sumiko having Tweeter just set and forget. Remember these spkrs were powered by a Yamaha reciever and monster cable.(No offense to monster owners)I plan on a different set-up when I bring my rig. Any suggestions?
