| Classé Pre/End with Sonus Faber Cremona M ? Forgot to mention. An alternative could be a Krell integrated. They sell the KAV 400xi (new) for about the same price as the classé combo. Which would work best with the Cremona M? | |
| Avalon Indra vs Sonus Faber Cremona M Congratulations with your sound improvements. Glad to see the Indra performes better, as it should do with that price difference. I guess the Cremona's profit more from a high powered solid state amplifier with their low and whimsical impedance. Y... | |
| Avalon Indra vs Sonus Faber Cremona M I guess before they were more on the warm side of neutral. The newer models tend to be more honest, more neutral. Maybe for some this means loss of magic, to others it means SF can finally be used with all kinds of music. | |
| Avalon Indra vs Sonus Faber Cremona M You could always add a sub to the Cremona's to make them go deeper and improve the overall presentation with it. | |
| Avalon Indra vs Sonus Faber Cremona M I agree. Wouldn't change the speakers this fast either. Besides, it's like throwing money in the sewer. The M's are wonderful and for the price difference you can buy lots of stuff that will improve your sound. | |
| Do Usher spkrs sound great with Rock music? @GbMcLeod: You mean you have the X-718? That's a huuuuuuuuuge difference with any of the Dancer speakers, including the BE-718. Not comparable at all. | |
| Amp / Preamp for Focal 1007 BE Speakers? Ken: with 4K to spend, I would try some other speakers. The 1007 BE just don't have it in them imo. If you like monitors, try the Usher BE-718 or the WLM Diva, the latter sounds great with tubes as well. You'll get much better (and more) bass with... | |
| Marsh P2000+A400s or Classé CP-45+CA200? Anyone else? | |
| Help: which Von Schweikert models are current? @Jack: I take it that's a compliment? :-) | |
| Help: which Von Schweikert models are current? I hope so. I was told the VR-4 models were manufactured in China (that did the casing), and the quality of the work occasionally left much to be desired, which caused a lot of rejects. But the Chinese sold those rejects as original Von Schweikert ... | |
| Help: which Von Schweikert models are current? Thanks. I also heard this from their the distributor. But it seems the Anniversary doesn't come until July/August this year, so there are no VR-4 available (except the bigger SR)... Well, I must be patient. | |
| Which allround speaker ? What about Hyperion HPS 968? Would that be a good choice? | |
| Which allround speaker ? Well, I heard both the old and new Cremona's today on various amps and cd-players and I still haven't found what I'm looking for. The new Cremona is quite good, I love it's warmth and smoothness. It's totally without aggressive highs, no harshness... | |
| Which allround speaker ? Well, the Thiels are definitely off the list. Too harsh, too bright, too agressive in the higher frequencies.Next I will try the Sonus Faber Cremona (old and new model) with solid state and with tube gear. What will be the biggest changes with the... | |
| Which allround speaker ? God, you're right. Sorry about that. ;-) |
