At San Jose's The Analog Room, one of my favorite stores. Sonus Faber
Stradivari speakers, Wavestream V8 amps and preamp, SME TT and arm (I
didn't catch the cartridge). Sounded great. It should for that money!

Picked up a variety of Speakers Corner and Classic Records reissues of
RCA, Mercury, and Decca LPs. A great store staffed by knowledgeable and
gracious guys.

The relatively inexpensive Sonus Fabers can sound great in the right
room. You gotta like a company that makes a leather speaker.

Yep, Sonus Fabers appeal to the same people who might go ga-ga over wooden
microphones. I'm surprised that Jenn's music department hasn't bought a pair
of those wooden microphones - only about $15K a pair.

I thought they were a very middle-of-the-road kind of speaker,
nothing special whatsoever. Not impressive at all at the price point.
Sorry.

Agreed. Definitely appeal to audiophiles who are interested in bragging
rights based on appearance and high price. If your interest in audio and
music is shallow, and you have more money than brains, then they are right
for you!
