Sonus Faber Amati compared to Amati Anniversario
I have had three different Sonus Faber speakers in my system:SF Cremona's, SF Elipsa and SF Amati Annniversario's . The Amati's sounded in my house too have a character to the bass which was just too boomy and bloated sounding particularly when I ... 
mcintosh 501's vs. mcintosh 7000?
This is not a fair comparison as one is a integrated amp. the other mono amps. which by the way are much more expensive. Just comparing the amps. the MC501 is a fully balanced ie quad balanced, so it is much quieter than the integrated amp. . The ... 
Sonus Faber Elipsa
Larryi listen to the Elipsa's with Mcintosh and you may fall in love with the sound. 
Sonus Faber Elipsa
Larryi I disagree with just about everything you said regarding the Elipsa. The shape of the Elipsa makes them easier to place near walls not harder. The Elipsa is not hrmonically thin. It sounds like you did not spend much time listening to the E... 
mcintosh 501's treble extension; yes or no?
The MC501's are terrific amps and have plenty of detail. I love my pair; they have been in my system for a year and I have no desire to change. I have Sonus Faber Elipsa speakers and Magnepan MGIIIa's and love the combo. 
Mcintosh MC275 versus MC501 ?
The MC501's are terrific amps. . The first thing I noticed compared to my MC252 was more bass, more 3D imaging. My MC252 sounded good but the imgaing was left, right and center. With my MC501's I sometimes hear imaging above my head and a sensatio... 
Sonus Faber Cremona/JL F112 VS Sonus Faber Elipsa
Mcintosh and Sonus Faber is a perfect fit 
Sonus Faber Elipsa
I have had SF Cremona, SF Amati's and SF Elipsa in my 2 channel room. I have Mcintosh MC501 amps so power is not a issue. My room is 15 x 17 . The SF Elipsa sound the best. They have terrific 3 d imaging, nice articulate deep bass even at lower vo... 
Sonus Faber Cremona/JL F112 VS Sonus Faber Elipsa
My electronics in my 2 channel room are : Mcintosh C220 pre amp., Mcintosh MCD500 CDP/DAC, Sonos ZP90, Mcintosh MC501 x 2 mono amps., JLF112 sub. . I have had no issues brought up in Jon2020 post, maybe in his room it sounded that way. These are t... 
Sonus Faber Cremona/JL F112 VS Sonus Faber Elipsa
I have had the SF Elipsa's in my home for about 5 days now. My initial impression is that the imaging is better than the SF Cremona's, the sound stage is wider and more 3D. The bass is better at lower volumes. When listening to Drums 1 and 2 from ... 
Sonus Faber Cremona/JL F112 VS Sonus Faber Elipsa
I just ordered a pair of ELipsa's. Should have them next week and will report back 
Best Amp for McIntosh sys.- MC252, MC402, or MC501
I had the MC252 and now have a pair of MC501's. My speakers are Sonus Faber Cremona 3 way floor standing speakers which are very efficient, 91 db at 1 watt. The first thing I noticed even before the 501's were broken in was that the sound stage ha... 
Sonus Faber Cremona/JL F112 VS Sonus Faber Elipsa
I just added a JL audio Fathum F112 sub. to the Cremona's and they sound great. I have the crossover set for 40 hz so the sub. only adds what the Cremona's are not capable of producing and it is so far the best upgrade to my system. The other comp... 
McIntosh MC207 or MC402 w/MC205??
Not true about the autoformer. All the autoformer does is help match the impedancet of the output of the amp. to the speakers so the amp. runs cooler. I have both a pair of MC501's and MC207 (which has new circuitry which does the same thing as th... 
What is the best amp for Sonus Faber Cremonas?
I disagree my sonus faber cremona speakers sound fantastic with my Mcintosh C220 pre amp, MC252 power amp and MVP861 cd player. The sound is fantastic. Maybe you have a problem with your room ? Are your speakers near the corners or is the listenin...
