The best speaker you ever heard?

Has anyone used any of the sonus faber bookshelf or monitor speakers could you tell me your thoughts on them.

I want the old stuff not the new sound. Cremona auditors on up. Please no Olympica stuff. The serblin era or a little after.

@ghosthouse thanks. I guess that was the guanieri homage. I wanted to know about the bass performance. I'm glad you gave me your other impressions. I would be using audio research on the front end. That's what I have now.

Thanks I'm going to probably go with a smaller speaker from the early sonus faber family.

I will go arc/sonus faber combination. I have ref3 if I go smaller I will get vsi60 arc integrated with sonus faber speaker.

gato fm6 from Denmark. Giant killer. I heard Wilsons at 4 times the price
Then these. I had them shipped from Denmark through a dealer in the UK I was sold on them quick. Best treble ever. Shimmery metal vapor is what I call it. Open midrange and deep tight bass.

Raidho D5 on all soulutions electronics. Best ever. I left the listening room in a stupor. The late great Dave Baskin put that great combination together and he almost had to put me out because it sounded so good I didn't want to leave his house.

@melbguy1. Did you ever hear the raidho d5

@melbguy1. I can agree on price issue. They did sound amazing though. I think the magico look like the have better build quality. I don't know if I will ever hear raidho with solutions again ever. Maybe at an audio show. I will love to hear the magico s 7. I like my music slightly to the fuller and darker side by a smigid without loss of detail. That raidho system gave me that in spades.

@melbguy1 respect your opinion. Get what makes you happy. Just letting readers my know my observations. There are a 100 ways to get different sounds. We just don't all have the money to try something that doesn't work. I guess that's why people share on this forum. Either way we all figure what we like and try to get there based on what we know. Cable can make a difference they are a big part of the chain especially when you get to a certain performance level. In the high end like magico, raidho, Wilsons, etc. they are important. Feed the system the right thing and your system will be on steroids. Lol.

@ melbguy1. I agree. I heard some vandersteen. The have a very full weighty sound from what I remember. Magico definitely is a great sound and paired with wit us should give it a slightly darker but open and transparent tonality. It should come with ample weight and texture with that combination. I use cabling to change the flavor a little from time to time. I also tube roll my E.A.R CD player to change it up.

@melbguy1. My current system is one that I heard with a guy who actually has my gato fm6. He has the KR audio va 900 and he was allowed to demo a soulutions 540 CD player. It was really great. It's produced a slightly warm sound but with real big images and very non fatiguing sound.

@melbguy1. Yup put that soulutions 540 in a really good setup and its mind blowing. It might be the only thing that I would chase right now. I love my resonessence dac but the solutions 540 is my perfect source. It might be why I loved those raidho d5 said so much. It's bathes you in a huge sound field

If vitus signature is that good then I want to hear it because the soulutions is the most natural non fatiguing sound I have heard in my like. I also want to here the Kronzilla integrated from KR audio. It's supposed to be very good.

I've heard Boulder I don't know if it was the signature high end. I thought it was ok. I haven't heard vitus or Ayre.
