| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Hi D-I-L-Eye,Continuing to do your homework! i am not surprised by your findings...the amp will provide detailing and quality based on amplification...but not a massively different soundstage nor boost in bass, at least not compared with our curre... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri ...oh and you may wish to try the speakers 1 foot closer to the back wall (ie, 3 feet from back wall) and re-do the toe-in either still directly facing you, or turned out just a little so that you can barely see the insides of each speaker... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Good morning,If they're Homages...here is a (very minor but instant) tweak for bass. Make sure to hook up the speaker cables to the BOTTOM connection and run the bridge to the upper midrange/tweeter connections. ideally, you would have a high qual... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri You're being thorough in your approach, and no one can fault you for your decision. after all, its your system and your ears. You have been very consistent about what is not ideal for you about the Gs, and i have noticed you have been able to arti... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Hi D-I-L-Eye, i have read and re-read the very many valuable posts over the last 2 days...in addition to my reply post (which is pending), i would like to address your others questions:- Aretha. i cannot hear what you are hearing...it is either th... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Hi D-I-L-Eye,Been busy and am glad to see many AGoners have stepped in during the last couple of days. - Glad to see the toe-in helps...i do not know your room, but suspected it might.- If you slide the G's back towards the back wall about 1 foot,... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri D-I-L-Eye,Depending on your budget/desire to maximize the output of the Gs, i can say that i found a dramatic change when i switched speaker cables. i used to use Audioquest Crystal from the early '90s. i then bought a pair of very old, used Trans... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri D-I-L-Eye,Sounds like you've made a lot of progress in your assessment! I would agree with your assessment, with some minor additional things you may wish to try. First, your assessment:- yes, chamber music will be very good, jazz ensembles- yes, ... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri D-I-L-Eye,Another thought...depending on the music you play, i could understand your desire to trade for "larger, more open" sound. Its all about selecting the characteristics you cherish the most, and compromising in others areas...no perfection!... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri D-I-L-Eye,that is helpful. First, a caveat: i have not heard the Yamaha speaker. Now on to comments:1. The Gs are very smooth...mellifluous. That is the SF sound...particularly in the Homage Range...Guarneri, Amati, Stradivari.2. They are going to... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Hi D-I-L-Eye,I owned the Guarneris for years and upgraded to STrads a few years ago. I know many owners love Mcintosh with Guarneris. However, i will also say placement of the speakers is very important here. Your Luxman amp is quite good by reput... | |
| The Hub: AudiogoN's RMAF coverage is Online I agree with many of the positive comments posted here...a lot of hard work went into doing this. Thank you for taking the time for all of us who could not attend! And thank you also, as many of us will not have the opportunity to compare or even ... | |
| Best amp for Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario? Hi Tim,good luck! sounds like you have 2 very good options there. Plinius has a great reputation, and i have heard very, very good things about the 845 tube when properly matched. Look forward to your post when you've settled in and compared them.... | |
| Nordost Quantum Technology Products That is good to know. I met Roy Gregory in London a few months back who is now with Nordost, and he suggested i try both ways...entire front end (not amp)...and directly in front of my DAC. i will post upon hearing. Have elected to upgrade speaker... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I have heard: ML CLX (without subs which i've heard make a big improvement), Magnepan 3s (which exact model?) Thiel 7s, SF Stradivaris (own them), Quad 2905, Rockport Merakii/sheritan ii (extremely impressive...would luv to hear bigger rockports),... |
