WHAT HAPPENED TO SONUS FABER?

I look at the new speakers.  They look cheaper and they are not as musical.  It’s like they are trying to be what they are not. What the hell happened?

"What the hell happened?"

HEA is not the same (no where near) as the audiophile products of the 70's-80's-90's. Now with a little care and knowledge one can easily beat up the expensive way over built audio products being peddled by the same ole revolving door that took your money the first several times around.

We see listeners dumping their massive components for a much better sounding inexpensive reality.

@michaelgreenaudio things have changed in Audio.  I was not trying disparage any brand but serblin hand made cabinets are not being done anymore but in a few select speakers.  There was time put into what he did.  Care and craftsmanship. Now it’s build to a price point and marketing. After the Amati Futura for me I think it all changed so do a lot of others.  I hope the best for the company but they have changed. As far as other companies. I put together a system with no major named companies that competes with the big boys to my ears. KR audio amps, Gato speakers, Resonessence digital and I’m very happy.

Calvinj - interesting thread because I was wondering how modern SF might sound with my Gryphon gear. My note to you, though, is are you aware that Resonessence has gone? I have their stunning Mirus Pro DAC, too.

@eagle3333. Yes  I actually showed with them last year at capital Audiofest in DC. Their dac us stunning. It’s been my best source outside of my Soulutions 540 which retails at 6x the price. They made great gear. Hans Loomin has shot off to his own company LOOMIN LABS and is developing an amplifier which I have heard and it is stunning!
