| The sealed LP... what is the point? Madhf, what you said is of course what I have typically done. However, this is not always possible and what about the next owner? Does he have to buy 2 pieces or more? | |
| What tube amp to drive Guarneri's? Chris, your 19x11 room would seem to be more problematical in its ratio of size than your 21x15.5 room. Did you have the speakers on the long wall or firing down the long wall in the samll room?I would suspect that maybe the smaller room would be ... | |
| What tube amp to drive Guarneri's? Chris, how large was your smaller room?I suspect probably all speakers work better in a larger room than a smaller room. Mine is 10x11 with a 15' vault ceiling. I sit in the near field( no other choice). Sounds good, but I am sure a larger room wo... | |
| Best speakers ever 4 small room? In my very small room... 11x10 with vault ceiling, the Sonus Faber Guarneri's replaced my Hales and sound fantastic.You have to sit in the near field, but the G's need no sub in a room this size. | |
| QUAD 2905 . humidity and reliability Bkonig,I agree with what you say about 'stats'. I used to own Acoustat 3's with the C mods. After a couple of years near the ocean in California, they were popping and having other issues. I sold them and went into dynamics and never looked back. ... | |
| What tube amp to drive Guarneri's? Tmiddle, do you remember what other equipment was being used with the ATM-2's?Also, what kind of music were you listening to?Chris, I am a little surprised that you fed your G's with only 18-20 watts, since my Rowland at 250 watts is working to dr... | |
| What tube amp to drive Guarneri's? Guess I should have elaborated on "add". I am going to keep my Rowland since the amp is so good and I want to swap out with a tube amp to get tube sound vs. the ss sound of the Rowland. The Rowland sounds great but like all ss amps, I am fairly su... | |
| What are the best monitor speakers for classical? You might want to listen to a pair of Sonus Faber Guarneri Hommage. In my room and for classical they are tremendous and I think they would work well with your assoc equip. | |
| Best Sonus Faber for 16 sq room. ? Tda, I made the same judgement as it appears you are about to make, regarding a large and great speaker in a small room. Easy to do, since the large speaker not only generally looks better but will probably sound better if you ever get a big room.... | |
| Best Sonus Faber for 16 sq room. ? I use the older version of the Guarneri in my very small room, which is 11X10 with a vault ceiling. IMHO, the original G is a superior speaker to the M's. It certainly was in my room.Your mileage might differ. | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage vs Harbeth monitor 30 Have not heard the Harbeth's, but I would be very surprised if it would compare to the Guarneri's.I listened to the Spendor 5e's and compared these to my G's in my room. The 5e's are tremendous for the money, and would have been a real contender i... | |
| Unable to audition used speakers a problem I recently sold a very heavy and large pair of speakers on 'Gon. The Buyer was a local buyer ( Thank goodness!).I left the speakers up and running and actually required an audition prior to purchase. Why, because of these reasons: I am not willing... | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Mini? Dan, Just so you know, I am a little upset at your innuendo, the Mini's were brought over to me by a fellow 'phile, believe it or not, your problem.I never said they were dealer leant, you did! However,my dealer is local to me and had no problem w... | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Mini? musicality17, my room is very small...10'X11', the only saving grace is that it has a 15' vault ceiling.The Mini's in this room did not overpower the room, however, they were not a great match either. I suspect the width of your room will be a pro... | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Mini? sirspeedy, I too greatly admire Jeff Rowland. Which is one of the reasons I own his model 8. In some of my other threads, I talk about the difference between the choke power supply version and the later mono-power supply version. The consistancy t... |
