Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento
I am in the process to change (again) my amps from Gryphon to Jadis (I have done this two times now) - and heard the GM at the dealer show room with exactly the same Jadis JA50 that I am currently testing at home.I heard the GM there and really li... 
Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento
I have lived both cases... old McIntosh (275 in this case) sounded better to me than the re-issue one, old JBLs (L65 or L300) sounded better to me than new models - but the other case also applies, many examples cover this story.The point is, not ... 
Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento
Daveyf - I understand that the mid-woofer vendor for the Guarneris is Scanspeak (custom made) - but Ican be wrong again... 
Best Solid State for Avalon Isis
Just for the record - I talked to Neil some years back and liked Spectral by that time with his Eclipses. 
Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento
Could it be the quality of the Homage drivers vs the Memento's?? 
Jeff Rowland Continuum?
Agreed Audiofeil. 
Jeff Rowland Continuum?
I wonder why so many C500 are for sale out there.... 
need amplification help for sonus faber amati
I am driving my SF Guarneri with a pair of Gryphon pre/power combo with great success, and integrated from Gryphon could also serve you well. 
Amp Suggestions..
I would try an integrated option from Simaudio, Plinus or Exposure for the Wakshes, it would be easier for you to move along with a small-fottprint amp that is fast, power to drive them and easy re-sale. 
Best Solid State for Avalon Isis
I have had several Avalon speakers (but not the Isis in particular) - The best sound came out from a Gryphon Anthileon followed bt a Rowland 8.Hope ths helps you out. 
msb Ilink vs. wadia 170i ipd docks
Just to add some salt grains here - I had an audio-fools meeting last night (we call each other that way - no offense) and played for about 1 hour music thru the iPOD/Wadia/Reimyo set-up I have with my new Gryphon amps - No one ver noticed I was p... 
msb Ilink vs. wadia 170i ipd docks
The user interface on the 170i is not their best feature - one needs to create many different playlists to manage the music library in a convenient way - what really makes the Wadia itransport a great option is its performance. 
Gradient Helsinki
Well - I have decided to pass on the Helsinkis, they are indeed a good design and worths a listen to anyone looking for a well integrated, almost full range and odd-looking speaker.My reference (Sonus Faber Guarneri) was just a high standard for t... 
Best integrated for SF Guarneri Homage?
I just tried a pre/power combo from Gryphon thanks to a loan from the dealer - the BelCanto and S100 were here for a week or so, my findings:PROSi) better bass control and energyii) nice headroom and around-the-speaker air reproductioniii) great l... 
Gradient Helsinki
I have a pair here loaned from the distributor, I have just had a couple of hours with them and I will definitely post something more formal later - first impressions:- The speaker MUST be toed-in to achieve the best bass response and integration ...
