Sonus Faber Question
@jdm11 The Senetto G2 series release date is in July? Since SF usually updates in a 5 year + cycle go with the newer model(s) especially in mid/lower lines where more improvements can be made with each update. Also your speaker will stay current ... 
Sonus Faber Question
@curiousjim      FWIW have heard both speakers... Amati G5 and Lilium from the reference series. The Lilium had all Burmester electronics featuring the 216 amp in stereo. The sound was sublime. On the other hand the Amati G5 driven by Atoll AM 400... 
Sonus Faber Question
Sonus Faber speakers have a lot of potential due to getting tonality and timbre correct. SF needs to improve on dynamics/cabinet resonance and bass control/definition especially from the Nova line and below. The cement resin bases on the new Sonet... 
Do you belong more to souce first or to speakers first school of thought ?

Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range?
@mikhailark Please put more focus on the Accuphase E 800 regarding speaker synergy then just the speaker as a stand alone. With no interest in Jazz/Classical or Vocals a very refined loudspeaker is not necessary. Fyne Audio/Zu/Klipsch/JBL all sho... 
Not sure what to think
@musicfan2349     A vast majority of Audiophiles understand the importance of acoustic treatment. Getting 95% + out of any level system is very difficult and time consuming where a professional might be needed to obtain that level. Many Audiophile... 
Not sure what to think
My perspective is determine what the weakest component is and replace it. Since you only have CD playback replace the outdated Oppo 105. 44 year old speakers would be next on my list, they still have resale value(depending on condition) due to the...

Boris Garcia-Today We Sail(CD 2010) Vince Gill-Pocket Full Of Gold(CD 1991) Boris Garcia has more than a dose of Tom Petty albeit with an alternative country vibe. Vince Gill is at the top of his game on this well recorded(all digital) CD.
