Power Amp for Extrema S

It was about two years ago. It was when the Electors, Elector Amateurs, and Extremas were discontinued. It was bought out by employees and it was the new owners that changed the line to a more streamline production oriented product that you now see in Tweeter. I cant confirm this but I was told by a very reliable source who use to work very closely with them. I also heard once that the Stentor was designed specifically for the Extrema (hence the walnut finish option) but I have no idea of the validity of that statement.

I use a McCormack DNA-2 upgraded to the Revision A by Steve McCormack.The amp is everything I had hoped for.Also, I use two Rel Stentor II subs.The music is fantastic.

Perfectimage. Does this mean that Franco Serblin is no longer involved with the company? I agree, I'm not real happy with Tweeter carrying their stuff, but mostly they demo the H/T line. In addition, as an owner of the original EA, I feel they took a huge sonic step backward with the design of the EA II (in particular the removal of the esotar 330 tweeter killed the speaker).

Im to sure of anything beyond what I have aready stated. I damaged a woofer (completely my fault) and the company had just changed hands when I had it repaired. I was told, by the people I bought the speaker from, that they had replaced them before for about 400 dollars. They also told me that they had seen the company cover the cost of repairs for free the first time around.

The final cost was fifteen hundred dollars. The story that I told you recently was given to me for the reason of this change.

I will admit that they went to great lengths for quality. The crossover was also damaged and they (Im not sure if it was Sonus or Sumiko) even had the entire speaker sent to them to make sure the same exact crossover was used for a perfect match.

The Meridian 557 amps bridged, sound amazing with the Sonus Faber Extremas. I heard this combo at the Stereophile show in 1996. The Mcintosh MC 352 also sounds great on the Extremas
