| most beautiful (looking) speakers Sonus Faber Elipsa and Extrema. Franco Serblin Accordo. I have all three and they are all so beautiful in different ways. | |
| Amplifier for Sonus Faber Extrema Now driving my Extremas with the restored ML 432 I picked up a few weeks ago and it's a great combination. It is true that the Extremas to love gobs of solid state power and the Levinson's do the job very nicely. | |

| The New Western Electric 845 Replicas Bump for 845 recommendations. My monoblocks take 8 845’s and I’m looking for reasonable recommendations. Are the PSVane 845-T II’s sufficient or will I hear a noticeable improvement with WE, ACME, Elrog, etc.? Thanks. | |
