Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri EVO's

Hello Jason, should receive mine also by friday. For the cables with my ancient ANDRA 111 i found the STEALTH cables to be on the bright side of neutral. I much prefer over the PURIST AUDIO DESIGN line. All my system got the PAD also my speakers will be bi wired. Got also few power cord from TARA LAB (ZERO) that are very good as good as the PAD

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!

Congratulations for Tommy latest system, you really do your homework !!!
Keep in touch..

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.

Mine arrived this morning. :-)
It good and bad day...my dealer mistakenly shipped only one of the stands...Boo! Oh well, mistakes happen, were all human and he's a good dude. He is overnighting the other one to me and it will arrive tomorrow.
A little hard to assess the sound when one is on a bar stool and the other it's proper stand. Different heights, different rake angles, etc. they are absolutely stunning in person and much larger than I had anticipated.
The stands are really beautifully done and much nicer in person than they appear in photos. Also bought a Primaluna Dialogue HP with both EL34s and KT-120s and a Rega Brio-R. A new Audioquest interconnect should arrive tomorrow as well. Pretty excited for tomorrow to arrive!
