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.

me too...EXACTLY same thing happened to me...I was almost at the point of writing a check for a Vienna Acoustics Mozart....THEN-I asked if there were any others I should continue. The devilish look in the eyes of the audiophile-slaesman should've prepared me for the PURE MUSIC that poured out of the Sonus Faber Grand Piano speakers he took me to. DAY and night....made the Mozarts sound mushy in comparison.
