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.

A friend of mine had a pair of Sonus Faber "Grand Piano"
loudspeakers. I thought they sounded exceptionally good
both with his Krell and with my vintage Radford tube amplifier.
The build quality too was excellent.

It is well known among people who have actually done the real-world
experiments that the room that speakers are in generally affect sound
quality more than the speakers. In one experiment, two audiophiles swapped
Bose 901s and other more conventionally designed speakers and still reached
that conclusion. If you like the way that certain speakers sound in a
certain store, be prepared to duplicate their listening room exactly, in
your own home.

The obligatory hyping of vinyl from a true bigot.

Yeccch! It is well known that Sonus uses overpriced drivers mounted in
hyper-priced enclosures that while scoring high for art, are mediocre at
best from the standpoint of sound quality. Great for the new rich with
questionable hearing and taste. Definately better-sounding than Bosendorfer
speakers, though. ;-)

The mere thought of Sonus Farbers has driven Arny once again over the edge,
into the abyss of his envy.

In the same vein, over on RAP a group of sound engineers were discussing the
pro's and con's of various cassette tape machines; Arny barged in and
started scolding everybody for even being interested in the subject, "since
CD's made the technology obsolete over 25 years agao". The man is a
one-note banjo.

The one note is called "The voice of reason". ;-)

BTW Harry, do you dispute the fact that the CD's made cassette technology
obsolete over 25 years ago?

If someone gave me a pair of Sonus Fabers that I had to use (please note the
proper spelling of the name, Harry), it would be like winning the lottery -
I'd be humiliated. Everybody with a brain knows that the lottery is just a
voluntary tax paid by people who don't understand the laws of probability
and statistics. Everybody with a brain knows that the Sonus Fabers are
dilettante-bait.

BTW Harry, do you play the lottery?

You're definately not one to correct spelling, GOIA. Please don't be
so redeculous in the future. ;-)

There's just no accounting for preference, GOIA. ;-)

BTW Harry, do you play the lottery?

Here's a twist for you, GOIA: the odds on, say, Powerball are what,
250,000,000-1? Assume that the jackpot is $80 million +. It costs ONE
WHOLE DOLLAR to play. So who cares? I'll throw a buck in against $80+
million even though I know the odds. The funny thing is that even with
those horrible odds somebody seems to win it. I'd take the $80+
million and not feel one ounce of "humiliation".

Maybe you can find a relative to lend you the buck. LOL!

We can assume that if some poor Boy Scout comes by selling raffle
tickets you'd give him a lecture on vice, morality and probablility
(in addition to the superiority of CDs). Then you laugh in his face
and send him on his way. You'd probably feel all superior.

That's why you're an insane turd. ;-)

Arny's goal is to be humiliated
"at least" 350 million times,
without collecting even a penny for it.

The Sonus Fabers I heard were great! Good value for money, extremely well
made.

They can probably take a bit of man handling too, judging from the kinky
leather outfits they're wearing. The dirty b------s. I'd get a bra on them
and give them a good working over.

Sounds like fun!

I did hear some smaller SF speakers in a nice setup not too long ago: I
believe they were the Auditor Ms on the matching stands. The source
components and amplification were all Simaudio so this wasn't a setup
that went for pocket change either. It sure sounded fantastic though!
