Tweeter or Woofer connection with single wire
That is a good question Bokfudo. Since electricity and therefore electrical signals move at the speed of light, I doubt the woofer has too much time to gobble up the signal before the signal bridges the appx 1-2" span between the connectors...:0)N... 
Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento
Semi,MF at Stereophile reviewed the GM's in Vol 30 #8.In it MF says the GH's use Scanspeak woofers, which as we both know they don't. He also says he hasn't heard the GH's so of course he cannot compare the two models ( fair enough).The 6" Audiote... 
Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento
Semi,I have heard the Scanspeak Revelator, the Raven ribbon, the Accuton tweeter, the Accapella Plasma Ion tweeters, the Maggie ribbons and others. IMHO, and frankly in many other 'philes opinions, the Esotars are still up there with the best. Why... 
Seperate bi wire cables?
I run seperate bi-wire cables and keep them apart by about an inch.I also suspend them off the ground and find that this is the best way to run bi-wires. Used to have a bi-wire terminated single cable and this was not as good with clear loss of de... 
Help What's Wrong with my System
Abruce, I used to own Hales speakers. They are very good but in your new room with the 42' Dimension, which IMHO is huge, they might be a little overwhelmed. How far do you have the speakers into the room?

So Don, are you still selling the G's on 'Gon? 
Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento
Pinkus, while I generally agree with your comment about modern technology, this is not an absolute. For instance, most 'philes including myself would argue that analog LP's are a superior medium for sound reproduction than digital systems. When Fr...

Pinkus, Read the review more carefully from Fremer. He states he has not heard the GH's and that the mid-woofer is a Audio Tech in the GM. It isn't... Look at the SF site and see that it is sourced from Dynaudio.In the review MF also states the mi...

Don, You might want to consider a couple of Martin-Logan Depths. I have not heard these with G's, but a friend uses them with his 'stats and they are very fast and can go pretty deep. I'm not sure if the JL's are fast enough to keep up with the G's.

Flg 2001, The mid-woofer is as a custom made Audiotechnologie unit in the GH and a Dynaudio sourced unit in the GM. 
Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento
Pinkus,I think Flg2001 hit the nail on the head..As I have posted before, the drivers in the GH's are IMHOfar superior to the drivers in the M. The Esotar is probably one of the top two or three tweeters in the world and the Audiotechnologie mid/w...

Don, If you need more bass, I suggest a sub. Usually in a small room the G's have sufficient bass, but in a larger room, then a sub that is fast and as accurate as possible, is the way to go. I personally don't really like the A's as much as the G...

Don, why are you selling your G's? 
Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento
Pinkus....how perceptive of you..:0) Congrats on the quick fingers and beating me to the thread..;0)I actually thought this thread had died a while back..guess I was wrong. My feelings on the G's vs. M's are pretty well known by now. Simply look o... 
SF Guarneri Homage vs Harbeth 7ES3
Ggavetti, I own the SF G's and have listened extensively to the 7Es3's.... Really 'like comparing apples and oranges' as the old saying goes.If you listen to Jazz and vocal and strings, IMHO the G's are just about unbeatable and frankly to me in a...
