Reference 3A line updated
Rebbi,I think I'm disappointed in 3A. I just looked on their website. Their speakers are ugly now. Do not want prison grey! I was seriously considering buying a pair of the Dulcets in high gloss red maple.But besides the ugly concrete grey I am al...

I always thought Nightingale was a good name.

@Eleizabeth,Does Bilbo share his home with Frodo Baggins? lol@TreljaNice ones! Have to agree with you about T&A. I guess it's German so have to let it slide. Don't think they knew how bad it really is. Yeah, Oppo is pretty bad too.

I just came across one today that I forgot about. The speaker company is called Bag End. Maybe I am missing something technical here in the name? I don't know, but it just makes me think of the end or bottom of a brown paper lunch bag. Bad name. N...

@ Tom6897,Funny, I just read about Schiit a couple of days ago for the first time. I would have listed them as one of the worst but for me I guess the name made me laugh. I think those two guys have a sense of humor. From their website: "Schiit go... 
Reference 3A Dulcets vs. Nola Boxer---Opinions?
Which speakers did you finally decide on? How do you like them? 
Anyone hear SF Venere's? Thougts?
Hi Livin 262002,Congrats on your purchase. I think you can't go wrong with those SF 2.5's. I figure If a speaker can sound good in a mediocre showroom powered by a surround sound receiver then they must be great speakers. I'm happy to know that yo... 
Amplifier for Sonus Faber Cremona M
Freediver, one more idea. If you want to keep it all Italian you could buy the Italian made sold state integrated Audio Analogue Crescendo. Only $1000. Never heard it but something to look into. The reviews are pretty good. Audio Waves sells them....

@ Lewinskih01Thanks for the info. Never had the chance to hear Laam. I am sure Laam sounds great! I may hold off a purchase and attend the AXPONA in Chicago this spring time. 
Amplifier for Sonus Faber Cremona M
Hi Freedriver, welcome to this thread. No you not hijacking anything. You have some good questions. I owned the Marantz PM8004 for about a month in my second system. The Cremona M's at Magnolia that I listened to were not hooked up to the PM8004 t... 
Anyone hear SF Venere's? Thougts?
I heard the 2.5 and 1.5 the other day at Magnolia. Set up was so so and run by a Marantz surround receiver. What else should I expect, Magnolia is still in Best Buy after all. Anyway, I was most impressed with the 2.5's. Dynamic, good bass, projec... 
Amplifier for Sonus Faber Cremona M
@ Johnnyb53 Marantz makes some pretty good gear that always seems to punch above it's price. I owned the PM-8004 for a very short time to play around with in my second system. I was very impressed with it. It could sell for twice the price and I w... 
Amplifier for Sonus Faber Cremona M
@ Lewinskih01, That is a very good idea to look into. I could buy one McIntosh MC275 and a McIntosh tube pre amp. Live a while with only 75 watts. It should be fine, but then buy a second MC275 later and use them as mono blocks. It would be more e... 
Amplifier for Sonus Faber Cremona M
Thanks again guys for your helpful responses!@Defride, I like the idea of Pathos. In fact I have many different speaker amplifier choices in my mind, from Opera, Unison, Nola KO, Quicksilver ect. The problem is I need to listen to them all and no ...
