| Sonus Faber Sonetto V’s Thoughts Requested @dbeckwith - the Sonettos just sounded flat to me with no depth. I listened to a lot of the music that I’m intimately familiar with and a ton of a-b testing and kept going back to the Focals. I even brought along a friend who had the same unsolici... | |
| Sonus Faber Sonetto V’s Thoughts Requested I was in a very similar situation deciding on a new set of speakers to replace legacy Dynaudio speakers. I was absolutely smitten with Sonus Faber and particularly the Sonetto V’s as that was in my price range. I listened to them in a couple of di... | |
| Turntable dust cover cleaning @rhg3 - correct. It's picking up the static from the cloth. Same effect even if I run my hand across the cover. | |
| Turntable dust cover cleaning Thanks all for the feedback and advice. There are a couple of suggestions I'll try here regarding cleaning solution and microfiber cloths. I'll report back on results. And, as several have mentioned, it is not a scratch issue as the cover is in pe... | |
| Shifting center image and recommendations on an approach @carzmaguy88 - Thanks for your response. I am completely with you on the placement of the speakers. It is driving me nuts. Focal actually provided the following recommendations which seem to contradict each other - "Optimisation For perfection... | |
| Shifting center image and recommendations on an approach @kota1 - didn't mean to copy you. I'm not interested in room treatments at this point. Thank you. As @ghdprentice indicated, that can come later. | |
| Shifting center image and recommendations on an approach @ghdprentice - thanks for the comments. I will upgrade the whole system at some point. This isn't a fair assessment, but currently the speakers are roughly 50% of the cost - I say that due to the age of much of the equipment - 20+ years (I didn't ... | |
| Shifting center image and recommendations on an approach dadork - Howdy. I would say around 80-100 hours roughly. | |
| Shifting center image and recommendations on an approach Thanks for the comment ghdprentice. I've added photos of all the components in my system to my profile. Hopefully, you can view these? The Dynaudio's (20+ years ago) were $1,600/pair, the Focals $4K (2 months ago). I am in the process of a side-by... | |
| 2023 AXPONA Show Report I went to the last RMAF (Rocky Mountain Audio Fest) and had an amazing time. Yeah, I couldn't afford anything there, but it was fun to listen to all the equipment. I wish it would come back as the setting is amazing (at the Gaylord). If nothing el... | |
| What is the current retail cost of your reference system? I wouldn't focus on a $ amount. You'll just get frustrated as you see people spend a small fortune. You should set a budget and then proportion it out % wise, with a majority spent on speakers. I will say that I've seen people spending $50-$100K o... |
