SF Guarneri Homage vs Harbeth 7ES3
Brianmgrarcom, Have you had a real instrument, in this instance, a guitar, in the same room as the speakers and therefore were able to do an 'AB' comparison. Or, are you listening to the reproduction via speakers and then relying on your audible m... 
SF Guarneri Homage vs Harbeth 7ES3
Ggavetti, you say that your friends/reviewers suggested a listen to the G's, did you not have an opportunity to do that?Frankly, IMHO the GH is if anything underrated in its musicality and acoustic perfomance. I teach guitar as a side line and whe... 
Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento
Flg2001, I think the Jadis amps are a great match for GH's.The only question is if they have enough drive capability.You might also consider Joules and Lamm's. I also recently heard BAT amps with them, not bad at all but not as good as the Jadis. ... 
Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento
Semi,it is interesting that you mentioned the size of the room. My room is very small which probably has something to do with how well the GH's integrate in the room.I cannot support much bass in the room and of course the GH's don't really do muc... 
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... 
Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento
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... 
SF Guarneri Homage vs Harbeth 7ES3
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. 
Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento
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...
