Trenner & Friedl Sun

Thanks mspot, that is very helpful. I heard the speakers at a dealer with two different amps, a Heed Elixer ( which is often demoed with these speakers) and a Leben 600. The pairing with the Heed was shockingly good but the Leben just didn’t work. I was about 8 feet away in a small listening room. My listening position will be about 6 feet away in a small room with very good acoustics. I would like for the Suns to work because the small form factor is perfect. Even Harbeth P3’s would be a little big but would work wonderfully. I will try to demo them but they are hard to get. Doesn’t look like many on the forum have these since there are not many responses

I have the P’3’s in another room nearfield and I agree they are amazing with acoustic music and voice. The room I am setting up now requires the smallest form factor I can manage so the Sun’s would be perfect. This room is isolated so I can play them louder, but I really would love to hear opinions from people who have had them for a while. Listening at the dealer is not the same as long term listening and home audition may be difficult. Anyone out there have them who can give some opinions?

I have and it will take a few months to get my hands on a pair to audition. Kind of impatient so was looking for others who have them. It is interesting to me that I don’t hear much about them nowadays but after the Stereophile review they were discussed often. I did hear them at the dealer and as I stated, with the right amp I was surprised by how good those little boxes sounded. They aren’t anywhere near the “best stand mounted speakers” as the review suggested, but in my limited review of them I was quite impressed.

Quinster, welcome to the forum. I actually finally got a pair for home edition in a midfield/nearfield set up (about 6-8 ft away) in use with a Belles Aria integrated. The combination is fantastic. I agree with your findings. The Suns sound fantastic driven by the Belles Aria Integrated . It’s 65WPC is more than enough to drive them. They are an amazing little speaker in the right set up, and I agree they need a good amount of SS power. But boy when they get that power they are shockingly good. Of course they are limited by their size, but in the right set ip I highly recommend them!
