| Chinese equivalent to Sonus Faber? I have seen a few Sonus Faber copies from China when I was living in far east, I can't remember the brands but none of them were worth a dime. | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond or Aerial 20T v2. something I noticed after owning 20T for a few months. 20T bottom firing port, unlike B&W which has a fixed base with predetermined distance to the port, can drastically affect how the bass is coupled to the room. so do play with speaker heigh... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento you probably know I am a SF fan too, otherwise I would not have owned so many SF speakers in my life. all Franco's works are masterpiece.I owned GH briefly, it was a speaker I always wanted to own for its look, sound, and reputation. it was overal... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Daveyf & Flg2001, you should be able to find Guarneri driver source easily on Stereophile reviews, both models were reviewed before and drive details were clearly mentioned. | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Daveyf, of course you are entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to mine. Like you, the whole audiophile circle here thinks GM is significantly better than GH by a mile.As of which tweeter is the best, there is no end to that debates. I have s... | |
| Sonus Faber Amati compared to Amati Anniversario I can only give you feedback on Amati Homage vs. Guarneri Memento. consider Guarneri Memento (GM) uses the same drivers as Amati Anniversario, I think my observation should apply.GM is slightly more extended on top without beaming that Amati Homag... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Both GH and GM uses Audio Technology midwoofer. Audio Technology is a new name of Skanning, so effectively they use similar drivers. Audio Technology might not make their own cones, instead they only make the coils, spider, and magnets and that's ... | |
| Built-in phono or seperate for budget system John,I know what you meant by Forte 4A being a sweet little amp and will take a lot more money to better it. I also like Usher BE-718 a lot, I have owned them over a year even before US started importing them. I am a tube guy, I know all about amp... | |
| Built-in phono or seperate for budget system I have owned AI 2D long ago, it was my first high end piece and my system has grown substaintially since. I still remember the joy of turning two volume knobs vs. my friend's Counterpoint SA-2000 tiny volume pot. it was traded in for an ARC LS2B f... | |
| Sota Star Sapphire help thanks for the suggestions, I will give them a call and order a manual and hopefully get some tips how to fine tune the suspension as well. | |
| Is there a better table than S. Scoutmaster Ref ? Connections always degrade sound, can be in the form of high freq distortion like brightness or edginess or as my friend called "coherence" which alter the phase/timing and make an instrument sounds "broken". I can attest to the first form of dist... | |
| Seeking a "high end" integrated amplifier Former Amati Homage owner. I like tubes on Amati, so I will look for at least some tubes in the pre amp section of your next integrated. Musical Fidelity Trivista, BAT VK-300SE, and larger Pathos come to mind. my all time favorite amp on the Amati... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond or Aerial 20T v2. for the record, I have heard all the speakers I listed above mated with Boulder, Ayre, Lamm, BAT, Burmester, Einstein, Gryphon, EAR, and others. long enough for you? stop wasting bandwidth and go hide in your own cave if you have nothing concrete ... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond or Aerial 20T v2. because Bar81 is very defensive of what he owns, everyone can tell | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond or Aerial 20T v2. if you want music, you should think twice about Avalon. I have not heard any ceramic midrange speakers to sound natural over the long haul. diamond tweeter or not, most critical is midrange and ceramic is just not the right material to many people... |
