| Thinking to upgrade speakers I love my Serafino’s! Wonderful sound. If I had the money and the room to warrant it I would be happy with the Amati. But you need to the power for the Amati pair. I power my Serafino with Tubes at 150W and I couldn’t be happier. They can fill my ... | |
| WHAT TURNTABLE? I would also highly suggest you contact the Reference Analog. The owner is Jeff Harris and is one of the best analog guys around. He does in home cartridge setup and will not steer you wrong. I’ve bought all my gear from him, including all my VPI ... | |
| Looking for a New Cartridge I didn't like the Soundsmith cart on my VPI table. Yes, it was a good match compliance wise, but just didn't like the dry sound. I have owned the Ortofon Quintet Black and Kiseki on my VPI, and also know the Cadenzra series well. If you like the... | |
| PrimaLuna Integrated Premium HP match Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 speakers. Completely disagree with the previous post. I had a Primaluna HP Integrated with Sonus faber Olympica IIIs and was a wonderful match. Had it for years. | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels Something like the Marten Django L would work well. They are always paired with Zests audio gear at shows and sound wonderful in smaller hotel rooms. The fuller size XL's would be too much in the small room, so the L's and other similar manufact... | |
| Nature of the current used speaker market Yep, I agree. I’ve seen the same Sonus Faber Futuras on for months, now currently 5 pairs. I’ve seen Marten Django speakers that never sell as well as the other brands you’ve mentioned. I don’t get why sellers keep the same price over and over aga... | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K @freesole,I've owned the Olympica III, and the highs were the completely opposite than "harsh." If you felt the treble area was harsh and fatiguing, then it was coming from some other component in the system, not the Sonus Fabers. Remember tha... | |
| SF Serafino vs SF Elipsa SE Yes, Sonus Fabers on the used market are a tough sell. They are always plentiful - always easy to find Olympicas, Guarneri Evos, Cremonas, Elipsas, Strads, Futuras, and now even the newest Tradition line are available on the used market. I just... | |
| Recommendations for CD Player/DAC Combo A used EAR Yoshiono Acute 3 is around the $3k budget. The newest version Acute Classic is excellent, but a used one is above the $3k budget limit. Probably around $4500 used. The EAR is the best CD/DAC combo I've heard. | |
| Harbeth 40.1 vs Sonus Faber Olympia III My dealer just got a pair of 40.1s in on trade. Feel free to PM me and will give you his info if you are interested. Best of luck with whatever you decide to get.. they are both fantastic speakers. The nice thing about the Harbeths is you can us... | |
| Replacement for speaker binding post aolmrd1241,What do you mean by "Support"? They won't sell you a part or anything if you bought a speaker used that is now discontinued? If you purchased a Sonus Faber speaker that has been discontinued, customers don't have the option to buy a n... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart I preferred the Zesto Andros phono pre over the Herron, but that is just me. Different sounding phono stages, and the Herron is definitely more Neutral sounding and sounds more like a solid state phono stage. Depends on what sound you're looking... | |
| What's up with Soundstage Direct? The disputes are primarily in the last few months. There have been several orders, including high priced turntables, that have not been fulfilled in which customers credit cards/paypal has been charged. It has been advised from multiple sites t... | |
| Raven Audio/nighthawk or Osprey Willgolf, Which Sonus Faber speakers do you have that the Raven Integrated drives well? Curious, because I always read that SF speakers need a ton of power to drive well. | |
| Sonus Faber Alternatives That Offer Similar Sound and Performance, your expertise needed! nightfall,what did you end up deciding on as a replacement for the Olympica IIIs? |
