Best Sonus Faber for 16 sq room. ?


Hi

If money was of no importans what would you buy for a 16 sq well treated room?

Remember i have a amp that have digital eq so some magic can be done.

I know that most will say Guarneri Memento

But the thing is i have had the Gamut l3 speakers beforee ,and even if the do project wonderfull imagedes the just dont sound as dynamic as a floorstander
for all kinds of music i ended up not liking them much.

I know i have asked alot of qustians about sonus faber speakers but its just because im very very confused on wich one to get .

But this qustian is what it all comes down to.

Pleas spare with me

regards

Tda2200 I'm not an expert, but I think Anniversarios need biiger space than 16sq.meters.....I had Cremona at 25 sq.m. and I was surrounded by music. Annis brings the whole orchestra in your house and the orchestra needs some room to deploy. I even guess that Anniversario designed for bigger rooms than 16sq.m.
As I see it your mind and brain already bought Annis (it's so easy when listen and see this speaker) so If you don't get it you spent your time dreaming it so I understand it's difficult for you.
I think Cremona floorstander it's a better match (since you want floorstander) with to much room correction and good driving it might work. And also nomral decibels.

I used to know a guy with previous Amati in a small room like yours, he had the delight of music in low volumes and overdamped room the amp was YBA passion. But not very loud and complex passages, the room couldn't take it.

I think the best is to try it in your listening room, afterall you paying a lot of money for a reference Homage speaker and maybe one of the best ever Sonus Faber speakers (if not the best yet).

Also consider Branimir's views more thorough.

I fear that if you don't get the Annis you will never get them out of your mind, so search for a good deal. IMHO Annis are better in "violino rosso" and Strads in graphite.
If you finally end up with Annis there 2 things you should beware: the spikes on the carpet and pass the carpet down to the floor & Yter speaker cable.
Annis also "feel" every change so a good dedicated line for the hifi with a finetuning fuse in the breakerbox will reflect in Annis performance.

Then make your prayers that the Eq God help you through along with the Room-treatment semi-god.

Since you are Danish visit www.sonusfaberclub.com there are many Danes there among other friends.

I have seen Amatis and Stradivaris in both colours, for me Stradivaris are best in graphite and Amatis in Violino rosso (which I've). Memento is better also in Violino Rosso IMHO. But in very modern design interiors graphite seems the best choice.

As for spikes I mean to drill the carpet with the spike.

Wooden floors is a problem here.
with the carpet absolutely not!

in bare floor ok, in wooden floor better a granite slab or special aftermarket products (sympsium, finite elemente, sistrum, etc).
Mr. Serblin is involved with "Elipsa" as well, some 1 year ago (maybe more) he was listening-voicing and experimenting with the new paper-woodfibers midrange(in cooperation with scanspeak) which is the new variable for this new speaker and also is exclusive for Sonus Faber for 1year.
The rest recipe was already the there. The Strad's cabinet reduced size, minus one woofer and a newer better than Cremona's tweeter version.
I guess (not heard Elipsa yet) the very interesting part (regarding Cremona line) is the midrange (of course all the other parts are superior to Cremona series).

But for tda2200 this is not the right speaker, this baffle speakers needs even more space and width to play the best.

Tda220 you may even consider the Domus piano , but a second-hand or demo Cremona is a far better choice (with all restrictions for your room already told).
