Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it?
Pal, It really does not sound like there is too much risk here. I have not heard a single negative thing on these speakers and I am an Audio and Music Junkie. I would love to see a follow up with your impression of the speakers. Good Luck and Cong...

SF Cremonas with BAT VK 75SE
Actually the entire Sonus Faber line is NOT power hungry. The Electa Amators and Extremas do require some power but the rest of the line is very easy to drive. The Cremonas are rated at 90dB Efficiency at 1watt 1meter just as my Grand Pianos are.I... 
klipsch speakers,be honest
I think Klipsch got a bad rap from what is mentioned above. (Improper System Matching)In the audiophile community you will see brows wrinkle when Klipsch Speakers are brought up. Most of these opinions were formed hearing Klipsch speakers hooked u... 
using ipod as source and very low output
Which output are you using? The Headphone out or the output through the dock? I used my 40G through the Dock out put into my amp and it is fine. It is lower than my CDP output but no where near as low as you are describing.KiD 
SF Cremona fixing advice
Nuno,That is awful. I used to run an Audio Store and this sort of thing happened all the time. Okay, first go to Staples and get some Packing Tape (clear or brown). Cut off a 3" peice and roll it so you can put your finger through it. Gently press... 
maintenance of the piano black sf concertos
Joel,I don't know if you have ever owned a Black Car but it is very much the same way. When New, nothing looks better, but fine scratches and swirling will occur by keeping them clean. So to answer your question, yes they are more prone to reveali... 
Audioquest Volcano vs Mont Blanc
I used to own the Volcano (non DBS) and found it very dynamic and large sounding. Sometimes though, this was not a good thing when seriously listening. Anyway, in my opinion, there are much better cables in this price range. (Audience Au24, Cardas...

Audioquest cables: replace the DBS Battery pack.
Jeffreybehr,I am not declaring Jihad (being a smart ass) on AudioQuest but I must say that I find the whole DBS theory and technology a little thin. I too have owned a ton of AudioQuest and even upgraded every time a new model came along. Until my... 
Audioquest cables: replace the DBS Battery pack.
Even though it is patented, some one could release a similiar concept to compete. Not a believer in DBS.. KiD 
SS integrated amp w/ A&B speaks & remote
The Creek 5350se will be hard to beat. A good friend of mine has one and it always amazes me on how good it sounds.Chris 
Audioquest cables: replace the DBS Battery pack.
Riddle me this... If DBS is such the hot lick technology in cables and makes such an audible difference; how come no other cable manufacturer is doing anything similiar?Chris 
Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage?
Samcom,You are so right on with your post. I bet they sound wonderful. I have own three pair of their speakers now and currently own the Grand Pianos and love them. My local dealer (JSAUDIO) has a pair of the Amati Homage on display and to this da... 
Audioquest cables: replace the DBS Battery pack.
I hear the 144V is going to be the ticket! Zero grain and unparalleled clarity. A whole new dimension is on it's way! Tee Hee (Sorry I could not resist) If you want entertaining reading on this, look up the Stereophile review on the first gen DBS ...
