SF Extrema,Few q
One thing I forgot to mention, their were 2 versions of the Meridian 557 amp. Version 1 and Version 2.From what I remember, you can only bridge them if their the same versions.So if you have version 1 and version 2, you cant bridge them. 
SF Extrema,Few q
Here's what I can tell you about the Extremas.The Extremas having no capacitors in their crossover and require some hefty amplification.I wouldn't use any Tube amps or Class D amps.Alot of the Class D amps are very small. The Extremas use a unique...

Best Cheap Speakers - New or Old
Canton Fonum 601's in the mid 90s were great speakers.They listed for 1000 and probably will go for 400 used today. 
Sonus Faber Extremas ?
The Extremas need lots of power.I wouldn't use a tube amp on them.You need a powerful solid state amp or mono blocks.My friend is using 2 Meridian 557 amps bridged on the Extremas.The Amps bridged are like 800 watts. We first heard this combo at t...

The matching preamp was the Levinson 26 and 26s.Those were world class preamps. 
The best speaker you ever heard?
I heard these at the Stereophile show in 2005.These speakers were amazing.They use ScanSpeak's ring radiator tweeter.A 5 inch midbase by Skanning and 2 9 inch Skanning woofers. They sounded sweet and holographic with a perfect bass response. 
why don't tubed amps have headphone jacks?
I have a Gini Audio Space 6i intergrated tube amp.It has a really nice headphone output and it can play loud.It uses KT88 output tubes and amp is really built.Here's a pic of it.http://www.gini.com/index.php?id=int-amp

Magico Mini are the 2nd best monitors i'v heard.The best are the Sonus Faber Extremas.The Extremas were incredible sounding. 
Meret Audio?
Hi, I just looked in my old Audio equipment directory from 96.The Meret Ankh listed for 1700.They used that Focal Inverted dome tweeter and Focal 5 inch midbase.For the impedance ohms, It says 8/6So I'm assuming its 8 ohms.Its definitely not 4 ohm...

Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage vs Extrema
