Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers.
@ghdprentice  Cynical ? Certainly you’re not suggesting people that choose not to purchase a product are dumb. I would think a hearing preference would play a role, whether having the funds or not is a moot point. I am sure that selling a company... 
Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers.
Without a doubt the Covid thing opened the door to price gouging. There was disruptions in all areas but many opportunistic gouging mother ……s were born. Covid is long gone few if any reversed their excessive charges. SF is no different except in ...

A cash grab to say the least. No doubt beautiful workmanship so if you want pretty and it’s your style it’s there. Sound wise there are many speakers available for considerably less with equal if not better performance. Do yourself a favour and lo... 
What happened to Yamaha electronics?
Take the name tags off do spec sheet and build quality / parts review. Many models will significantly surpass theirs and other pay grades. Example, a Tube sound preference might go to an Audio reference 160s, but nothing else on that spec sheet wo... 
My Favorite Tweaks, What is yours?
Sounds like a Weird Millercarbon (Vankovic) heyday post he’d be proud boys, just keep those miracle pads out of the electrical panels… Laughter is the best Tweak.  Cheers   
Input output cable question
@bill_peloquin Ever wonder why the better than 1/2 price off market exists in such an abundance.

What is a good all around high quality speaker to purchase?
A perfect candidate would be the PS audio Aspen FR 20 ! If you want more of a traditional woody design there’s an endless list of Sonus Fabre Amati up grades available. Having said that with the FR 20s in place the Sonus would be history. Why ware... 
??? How Do You Determine How Far You Can Take An Amp When Choosing Speakers ???
There is no rule of thumb. Once you get the BS budget etc. out of the equation it is quite simply sound appreciation and how do you give that in advice form. Certainly speakers have an operating range in specification posted. Doesn’t take a rocket... 
The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear
@noromance Agreed mid grade then is vintage mid grade now. Similarly today’s CJ2100 level mid grade is tomorrow’s mid grade, some things can’t be grade tweaked.  Cheers   
The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear
My take…Depends on the gear, an appropriate setting and personal expectations. Above all it’s your ears and not the buffoon that listens out of his wallet. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard negative Vintage assumptions because your equipment ... 
Im going to regret my cable question
@squared80  Bingo…we have a winner ! Cheers   
How to choose speakers that won't overpower your room?
Definitely visit PS audio their Aspen FR5 is in another league. The design and engineering involved puts most to shame Sonus faber included. With the stand mounts your room limitations will be nonexistent.    Cheers   
Vinyl playback - lack of bass?
One of the many reasons my vintage Garrard TT and system components aren’t on display collecting dust anymore, there comes a time said the CD player to the cassette and R/R players…..lol  Cheers
