Look forward to hearing your impressions of the Sonus Faber. I first bought a pair of SF Cremona as an experiment to confirm my theory that these had the sound I was looking for. They confirmed it… incredibly natural, musucal but detailed as well. I ordered a pair of Olympica iii within a week (first shipment to the US, on water at the time). After seven years upgraded to Sonus Faber Amati Traditional… helping my system become the best sounding and looking I have had the pleasure of listening to ( I have listened to more than one million dollar system… impressive but not as musically involving). I find it difficult to drag myself away from it after three hours of listening a day.
Need help to select a speaker
Hi Audiophile people,
I need help to select the smoothest speaker of all.
I grew up using Spendor, Rogers, Tannoy, Wharfedale. I was always fan of British silk sound speakers like Rogers LS35.
The harshest speaker that I had was JBL which still has a smooth sound.
I don't have time or chance to listen to all the new speakers but in need to select a near field listening speaker for Jazz, Blues, vocals, Acoustics with maximum details in low volume.
I am looking at both Bookshelf and Floor standing but I should get better sound quality from a Bookshelf speaker in my experience.
Please share your experience and let me know what I should look at.
I am looking at Brand New and under $5K.
Cheers
Mike
