Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri EVO's

I own the SF Evolutions and pair them an Accustic Arts Power 1 integrated. While I not auditioned them with a tube integrated I will say I am very happy with my setup. I feel the Power 1 does a wonderful job of maintaining the magical midrange while also having extended highs and solid bass.

By the way, my room is 10x11. I just added some room treatments and have been floored by how great they sound. Please keep us updated Bavarian05 and Roccl007!

Vineman55, my Evolutions are in the graphite color. While I think the walnut and red is very nice, the graphite is spectacular looking. There is a dimensionality and subtlety to the finish that I just love! Good luck.

Bavarian05, I use a combination of Viscoustic panels for
absorption and diffusion and RealTraps Mondo Corner bass
traps. I use Vicoustic Cinema Round panels for the first
reflection points on the sidewalls. These really helped to
widen the soundstage quite a bit. I use Vicoustic MultiWood
on the front wall as a combo absorption/diffusion panel
which helped to sharpen up the focus. The bass traps had
the biggest impact by far. The sound got more clear, notes
especially highs linger in the air more, overall soundstage
now envelopes my entire room and bass increased
dramatically. My next step is to see if absorption on the
ceiling further improves things.

As for cables, I personally use Tara Labs but I know a lot
of people use Nordost with the Evolutions.

Bavarian05 and Rocc1007 congrats on your purchases! Please
post pics when you get them! You will not be disappointed!

So did you guys get the speakers yet?? I am excited for both of you! BTW, get your back limber...those stands are heavy and awkward to carry without damaging the "strings" that run from top to bottom.

Bavarian05, congrats sort of! :). I am listening to my Evolutions right now and loving them. Getting room treatments really allowed these speakers to show me what they are capable of! And yes I agree they are larger than expected. I look forward to hearing your impressions.

Thanks Rocc1007. Looking forward to your impressions. Would love to see pics of that beautiful red violin finish. So between you, Bavarian05, and me we have all the Evolution colors!

Nice Bavarian05! I will check out your system on AS! Any quick thoughts on the sound??
