| Sonus Faber Extremas Velo62,I have owned the Extremas for a number of years and the best I've heard them driven is with the Antileon Signature (which I'm using now). I'd tried them with VAC (tube), BAT, Pass Labs XA160 (a close second), Premier 8A and believe it or no... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage vs Extrema 1985,Look into the archive and you will get a lot more views. | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage vs Extrema 1985tqc,Both are great speakers and you can't go wrong with either. The Extremas are more difficult to drive properly ( require great class A amplification). For my taste, the Extremas are better overall. | |
| Sonus Faber Extrema vs. Guarneri Tabl10s, yes, the Beethovens may be better but I believe Denons don't do Extremas justice even though I have not heard this combination before. The Extremas need great clean power. They sound best with gears like Gryphon Antileons, Pass labs XA se... | |
| Sonus Faber Extrema vs. Guarneri sirspeedy,I concur with your views on the Extremas. While they are great sounding speakers, they are not the best to my ears (maybe there are no best, just a matter of taste). Speakers must not only sound great, they must also look great and that'... | |
| Sonus Faber V's Sonus Faber Very well then, Semi. Have fun and enjoy your Amatis and Cremonas. Cheers! | |
| Sonus Faber V's Sonus Faber Semi, what amplifiers are you driving the Extremas with? If you have heard them driven by amps like the CAT JL-3 (or even JL-2), if you like tubes, and the Gryphon Antileons, your perception of the Extremas may well change.To really enjoy the full... | |

| popping from speakers? I had the same problem when I added a dac into my system. So, the culprit had to be the dac. I sent it in for a thorough checkup and the problem was narrowed down to a loose solder joint. After that was fixed, the popping went away completely. So,... | |
| Jeff Rowland 302 or Conrad Johnson Premier 350 Barrelchief,No, I do not have any experience with or own tube amps before but I do own tube and hybrid preamps. | |
| Jeff Rowland 302 or Conrad Johnson Premier 350 Raquel,You were absolutely spot on about the CAT JL2. I drove 5 hours to actually try to buy the JR 302 when I saw a used JL2. I asked the dealer to put it in his demo system (with Eidolon speakers) and know what? One minute into the demo, I decid... | |
| Jeff Rowland 302 or Conrad Johnson Premier 350 Thank you folks for all your thoughts. | |
| Jeff Rowland 302 or Conrad Johnson Premier 350 Cytocycle- You mean JR is willing to put the power supply of the 301 into the 302? | |
| Jeff Rowland 302 or Conrad Johnson Premier 350 Raquel- Thanks a lot for your thoughts which will help me greatly in my buying decision. | |
| Jeff Rowland 302 or Conrad Johnson Premier 350 Raquel and the rest- What are your thoughts on the Lamm M1.2s? |
