| Warning for Revel lovers @artemus_5 If your Samsung has the ice maker in the refrigerator section, I may have a solution for you. We have a french door Samsung refrigerator with the ice maker in the upper left side. It would stop working every so often. Upon investigat... | |
| First foray into Class A amp -- recommendations I ended up buying a Krell FPB 400cx and the sound has been great. I have had it plugged into a regular 15 amp outlet and I'm about to have a couple of dedicated 20 amp lines run, just to make sure it has enough "juice". | |
| Sonus faber choices - help me decide Before buying the Anthem STR integrated amp, you should know that Anthem also makes the STR preamp, which has a more sophisticated ability to independently integrate not only one, but two subs with ARC correction and also use them when you are doi... | |
| Need help choosing Sonus Faber Sonetto V or VIII, what amp? No, I don't think the VIII would require any different amp than the V, as the sensitivity of those speakers is about the same for both of them. | |
| Need help choosing Sonus Faber Sonetto V or VIII, what amp? If not using a sub, I would go with the Sonetto VIII. SF doesn't rate bass extension that much deeper with the VIII than the V, but I would want that extra woofer without a sub being in use. I heard the VIII and they should be better able to fil... | |
| Sound System on $10K Budget OP, you could do something like the new Sonus Faber Lumina V tower speakers($2800) along with a nice used Anthem STR Integrated amplifier @200 wpc($3200 now on us audiomart). The STR has home theater bypass in case you later want to incorporate a ... | |
| speaker choice for new 20x30 audio room I’d agree that if you can get into a decent sized Sonus Faber, they might be great for your listening preferences. The Sonetto VIII are pretty impressive. A nice used set of Olympica III would be even better. With the size of your room, I suspec... | |
| speaker choice for new 20x30 audio room Actually, I just saw an ad for a used set of Kanta 3 for just over $10k. As that room is huge, a bigger speaker might be better, particularly if you will not be using subwoofers. | |
| speaker choice for new 20x30 audio room There are a myriad of options, but some options are Focal Kanta 2, Revel F228Be, Dynaudio Contour 60. | |
| Sonus Faber Lumina V impressions? and which amp? Yeah, I'm afraid SF made the Lumina V TOO good and they will be tempted to raise the price. Otherwise, it may cannibalize too much of their Sonetto sales. | |
| Sonus Faber Lumina V impressions? and which amp? Yes, I recently heard a direct comparison at a dealer between the Lumina V and the Sonetto VIII. This demo was in the same room and same system. They were being driven by a 350 wpc MICHI integrated amp. After playing a number of different genres... | |
| Stand mount to floor stand. Well, the Cremona M is a pretty good sized floor standing speaker, so that is a whole different approach. The Cremona M received quite positive reviews and is said to be an improvement over the original Cremona. As to whether it is an "upward mo... | |
| Looking for thoughts on Sonus Faber speakers I was able to hear the Sonetto VIII the other day and they seem to me like they do exactly what you are talking about. The vocals are so nice. | |
| What do audiophiles do in their cars? My wife's 2012 Hyundai Genesis has a Lexicon system that is pretty kick-ass, of course except for the bass you get from big subs, which she doesn't care about. My 2016 Buick Enclave's system is pretty pedestrian in comparison. I do play Amazon M... | |
| Why does bass have more “punch” when I stand up vs. sitting? You are sitting in a bass null. So am I, but since it's a family room and there's not really another way to situate the sofa, there's not much I can do about it. |
