The Highest - Suprema

I had a chance to listen extensively (length of time, plus able to request familiar material) to the ’end game’ configuration (for me, and which will NEVER happen not even close for obvious (figure 1 3/4 Mio reasons). On ALL levels/chriteria (sound, detail, staging, etc). I never thought that there is so much ’more’ beyond what I had previously considered the highest level of listening. A truly eye opening experience:

 

Room:

25x25 (not sure about height, say 15 ft). Treated.

 

Equipment:

Speakers: Sonus faber Suprema

 

Amplifiers:

Burmester 159s on the Suprema subs

Burmester 218s on the Suprema towers

 

Preamp: D’Agostino Relentless Pre

 

Source: dCS Vivaldi APEX stack (DAC, upsampler, clock)

 

Cables: Transparent Magnum Opus to the towers; Transparent XL to the subs / all other interconnects at the XL or Magnum Opus level

 

Racking: HRS VXR

 

The icing on the cake was a long conversation/discussion with Livio Cucuzza, the creator of the Suprema (in my eys).
