| Sonus Faber vrs Magnepan Tomryan, I never had a problem with the Signum's upper midrange. It could be that certain equipment and cabling brings this out. With the VAC Ren. 30/30 the midrange was lush- strings, vocals and acoustic music are wonderful on these speakers.The ... | |
| Sonus Faber vrs Magnepan Tomryan, I own the Signum's and Sonus Faber Extrema's. When the Signum's are in the system I drive them with a VAC Ren. 30/30 MKIII amp (32W with 300B tubes). When the Extrema's are in the system I drive them with Lamm M2.1 monoblock amps (200W). ... | |
| Dedicated power,long power cords - waste of time? RgdI agree with Chuck, talk to your electrician and get his idea on how to best run dedicated lines close to where your rig is now. There are usually ways of snaking lines from the panel to the new location even without access to the space above o... | |
| Best preamp is no preamp: always true? Bigkidz, could you elaborate on what was interesting about First Sound's volume pots? Just curious because they're on my shortlist to audition. Thanks, Ken | |
| Recommend tube amp for $3.5K used I own a Vac Renaissance Thirty/Thirty MKIII and the Berning ZH270 and listen to similar music through less efficient Sonus Faber speakers. The Berning is transparent and dynamic, but when it comes to air, soundstage, detail and the emotional impac... | |
| Question on REL Storm I would try removing the RCA connection at the back of the REL that leads to the HT Processor while leaving the High Level Neutrik speaker connection to the BAT amp. (I'm assuming the BAT amp gets its signal from the HT Processor and the BAT feeds... | |
| How would you rank the following Sonus Faber Speak 1-Guarneri, MAGIC midrange2-Extrema, great dynamics, great midrange, best low frequency response of the four.3-Cremona Auditor, great soundstage and imaging, speaker disappears easily, probably most neutral of the four.4-Electa Amator 2, haven't h... | |
| Attic room too small for Hi End Speakers?? I would check the floor joists size, if they are spanning the 12 foot width they should be 2x10 doug fir or better. If not, the joist could be changed to silent floor I-joists or sistered them up to beef up what ever is there. The subfloor should ... | |
| Subwoofers with your two channel system? There is an interesting article at http://val.dorta.com/audio/archives/000109.html that talks about the use of minimonitors with subwoofers. Food for thought. | |
| Does "full range" really mean anything? Winegasman, I use stand mounted 2-way's with 5" mid-woofers (Sonus Faber Signum's) and a dedicated REL subwoofer. In my small dedicated room (17'x12'x avg.9'ceiling) I find 2-way monitors and a separate subwoofer to be the best combination for the... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri's The Guarneri's are something very special especially for a second system. They will need an amp with more oomph then 8 Watts. Depending on how loud you like to listen and room size, I wouldn't give them less than 50 tube-watts and preferably more ... | |
| the Listening Room Rives, Flat frequency response, great soundstaging & precise imaging are very important to me, but if I were planning a dedicated 2 channel listening room a would expect more from it. The space would have to take advantage of the property's na... | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 I second the 2 week cut off date. That should be enough time for any interested party to get the money order to Albert and not let his kind offer drag on too long. | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 Thanks Albert for taking the time to coordinate this purchase! I'm in for 6 cryo-treated Hubbells. | |
| Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems Tim, You probably know this, but just in case it was overlooked, the 9000es will not output SACD audio signals from the digital out optical or coaxial connectors. Good luck and enjoy the Cap.MkII! |
