| Speaker recommendation What would they be replacing? What aspects of your current ones are you chiefly aiming to improve on? | |
| WHAT HAPPENED TO SONUS FABER? The real magic exited the company with Serblin's departure (he made a few more models on his own), but it lingered on for while, ever diminishing. I auditioned the Veneres and thought them engineered to impress in a 2-minute hearing, but sub-par ... | |
