| New or legacy Sonus Faber decision help Certainly speakers to impact sound and different speakers can do certain things very well and sound differs between manufacturers. Luckily there are lot's of options. When I was replacing my MIrage's I listened to a variety of speakers and expe... | |
| New or legacy Sonus Faber decision help @alexatpos Given your experience with legacy speakers I trust your guidance related to used versus newer 'entry level'. I prefer the Lumina III I over the Venere 3.0 I owned. However, I listen to a variety of music with a majority of it being cl... | |
| How buying a car can help you be a better audiophile I think you have something here. I have been to numerous high performance driving schools and will attend a rally driving course this fall. The "best-est" car at x, y or z doesn't mean it's a car good for a road trip or to go back to the grocery... | |
| 100% USA designed & made DAC I don't typically take the country of origin into consideration as much as I take the company's focus on on quality products and ethical treatment of others. I have acquired all of audio gear from a audio retailer - the largest store being Tweete... | |
| What is Your End Game System? @kota1 thanks! I admit I needed to test and experiment to be convinced speaker cables, power cables and audio stands can make a difference. The white panel is a TV antennae... My rug with a 3/4" wool pad along with cellular blinds are highly im... | |

| speaker impedance Personally never paid attention to ohms or sensitivity until I looked how they sounded. And remember it’s a nominal ohm rating - hence the importance of having an amp compliment your speaker choice. | |
| New or legacy Sonus Faber decision help I am a Sonus faber speaker owner and I’m on my 3rd set.. I’ve heard the Lumina’s and was damn impressed on the sound for the price. Can you buy a legacy speaker near the price of the Luminas? If you can I’d at least try and audition them. Over... | |

| What is Your End Game System? I guess current state is end state until it isn’t for me. The last two years I have reignited my love of music and in doing so upgraded beyond my expectations. Could I upgrade again- I don’t know if I can permit myself to spend the money witho... | |
| Simaudio 400m / 860A vs PS Audio BHK250 No - I don’t have a thermo laser. | |
| Speakers that scale The Lumina's are great value for the money. The similarities are in the 'voice' specifically the tweeters and mid-range but the differences is in the detail and ability to provide the detail during crescendos and musical peaks. I've heard this ... | |
| Simaudio 400m / 860A vs PS Audio BHK250 I own 400Ms - they run significantly cooler than my previous McIntosh MC 302 and NAD C375BEE. They can get warm to the touch versus hot. My space is bigger and I commonly listen 75-85 dbs. I have the Moon 390 and Rega P8 and have SF Olympia Nova ... | |
| Speakers that scale I currently own Sonus faber Olymica Nova Vs and previously owned Sonettos Vs and prior to them Venere 3.0. I've always appreciated Sonus faber higher end speakers and I'm shocked by the value the Lumina's provide. It demonstrates there's a marke... | |
| Upgrade path question. Upgrade analog or turn to digital? I recommend doing both and my rationale is why give up something you value. I was slow to adopt digital like to @ghdprentice and the convenience is wonderful. I absolutely still plan records; however, it's not a majority of the time. |
