Those Sonus Faber Sonnetto 8 look pretty impressive. Made in Italy. Up to 300 watts handling, 4 ohms rated, 36 - 25,000 Hz, and a retail of $6500. When you've had some time with them, please update us on how they sound with the Adcom!
Speakers for Adcom GFA 575se $2k-$3k
Hello to all. it's been a long time since i posted but some bad luck has me scrambling to put a temporary system together. was planning on upgrading my rig next year but lost my amp and speakers days apart right before Christmas (ML-432 and Aerial 7B's). both piece's were old/due for upgradeing, but i wasn't ready for them to go belly up so soon and at almost the same time.
will not have the time or funds to venture into the HiFi rabbit hole until summer/2021 at the earliest. probably more like fall 2021. and once i do start the journey, it'll take some time to research/listen and execute the new setup. i need something to hold me over for 6-12 months at least.
so far i've grabbed an Adcom GFA 575se for dirt cheap. went with the 575 because...
A: it's modestly priced mid-fi
B: plenty of power to drive whatever speakers i end up getting (350wpc/8ohm 450wpc/4ohm)
C: have a soft spot for Adcom from back in the day/my first real amp and it lasted forever.
now i need a set of speakers that will work decently with 575se. would like to stay in the $2-$3k range. prefer new but would be willing to consider something relatively new but pre-owned,or demo's (nothing old/vintage please). do have a Velodyne DD12 sub but would much prefer to ditch it in favor of full range speakers that put out good/tight/controlled bass. will use this gear (Adcom and TBD speakers) to replace my current living room system after i get around to building my REAL listening room setup next year.
what i would like....
floor standers for Rock/Jazz/Alt music
somewhat high listening levels
prefer musical/easy to listen to speakers. nothing that could be fatiguing
Need something ASAP.....don't have the time to shop around/research/listen etc.... just need something that works well enough for now/6-12 months.
front end being used will be my ancient (in digital terms) PSA Perfect Wave Dac MKII and Perfect Wave Transport. these two piece's will also get relegated to my living room after i do the real upgrade next year. listen to mostly streamed music with a considerable amount of Hi Res files. do have plenty of hi quality cables and my listening room has been sound treated well. i'm good in that department
just need a decent set of speakers to fill the gap until i'm ready to get on the hifi hamster wheel again =)
look forward to hearing your thoughts
