| Italian speakers:Sonus Faber,Chario,Diapason,Opera How can you not add Franco Serblin speakers to this of italian speakers? No, they not SF speakers. | |
| Ktema Accordo vs. Vienna Acoustics Kiss Great to hear you have been blessed to hear the accordos. I have heard them also and have not been able to find a better sounding speaker. Of course Franco's focus is the dynamic mids which was his focus with his long lines of SF's speakers. You a... | |
| Best Metal Vinyl Album I do own Black Sabbath 13 on digital. I'm always reluctant to buy new vinyl since it is recorded in digital. With that said, it's a great album I enjoy it immensely. | |
| Simaudio 870a over Krell 402e? Curious if you are happy with the purchase of the 870a. I own the 860a and I am very content with mine. As of right now I am using my simaudio 600i as my preamp. As soon as I sell it I am going with the 740p. I was going to tell you, but you proba... | |
| Best Metal Vinyl Album I initiated this thread, but failed to keep it going. I love hearing about metal vinyl, where to get the best metal vinyl and various life experiences with metal. I have currently returned from Vancouver Canada. Went to a metal record shop. Harldl... | |
| Do not buy any Sonus Faber used Sumiko SF will not honor warranty. I called the when I bought my Cremona Ms in Italy. Ok, I may be able to see rationale if buying from a non-authorized dealer, but buying from a SF approved authorized dealer overseas should be credit enough to ho... | |
| To upgrade from simaudio 3.3i to 600i or not? Thanks Camb, I appreciate your help. It's the price increase for the new sim separates that makes me reluctant. I'll wait to audition them when they become available. | |
| To upgrade from simaudio 3.3i to 600i or not? Camb, it appears I am right where you were when you decided to move up to separates. The 600i sounds good, but lack a bit on the bass and light in sounding when playing through the Ketemas. Considering moving up to sim separates. The cost will be ... | |
| Franco Serblin R.I.P. What happens to Ktema? Just downloaded TAS jan issue. Very nice review and spot on. Living in Italy and meeting those that knew FS personally truly believe the Accordos and the Ktemas are his signature and grand finality of a long life of excellence. Again, RIP FS. | |
| Franco Serblin R.I.P. What happens to Ktema? Have no doubt, they are awesome. I'll read the review. Thanks. | |
| Franco Serblin R.I.P. What happens to Ktema? Yeah, I would have never paid the $40,000 price tag for this speaker or any speaker for that matter. Since I paid half that price I see I got a killer deal for the best speaker I have ever heard. Happy listening. | |
| Franco Serblin R.I.P. What happens to Ktema? When first auditioned in Italy I thought they were bright also, but the soundstage was amazing. I brought my amp to the audition. I took a gamble and figured they needed to be played for a bit to settle in. I was 100% correct. Settled in and amazi... | |
| Franco Serblin R.I.P. What happens to Ktema? Suntrapak, I am settled in and still very interested in hearing your system if all possible. | |
| Add external amp to integrated pre outs or not? Mapman, thank you for taking the time to analyze my system. I really need a honest analysis. I am considering staying with Simaudio and upgrading to the W8 by Simaudio (2x the power). I have listened to the Diavalet Class D, but not on my system. ... | |
| 120V to 220V Converter Stabilizer or not? I went the other direction when I lived in Italy I used a step up transformer using 110v to 220v. I had no problem with it. And I used a surge protector with it. |
