I am a little late to the party, but i just recently purchased a set from Bernard at Charisma Audio in Ontario. I have them paired with a Sugden IA-4 pure class A amp, and i could not be happier. They are a very musical and focused speaker, the clarity is insane. I compared them to my Dynaudio special 40’s, and there was no comparison. The 311 is a far superior speaker in every way. Mind you the 311’s were $3000.00 more than the S40’s . I listen to a wide variety of music, but mostly jazz, blues and classical. These speakers pull out annunciation far above anything else i have heard. The more you toe them in, the bigger the soundstage gets. i have an extreme toe in right now, and it works in the environment i have them in And the musicians move all over the stage, its hard to explain. As for the Magnepan’s ? I watched a review this morning that claimed you need a 500 wpc amp to drive them otherwise they sound distorted.
The lovely Capriccio Continuo Admonitor 311's a real gem. Your thoughts?
Has anyone else had the experience of hearing the Capriccio Continuo Admonitor 311's? I purchased a pair with matching stands after having had the opportunity to demo a pair and they are a wonderful sounding pair for bookshelf speakers. I've always stayed away from bookshelf speakers thinking they can't compete with some floor standing speakers...I was taken aback how wonderful they sound and just how good the bass is for their size, and how beautiful they look. Italian speakers and excellent reviews.
I have them paired with a Klyne SK-5 preamp and Quicksilver V4 tube mono blocks. Finally I can relax and enjoy the music this system can provide.
Anyway, I couldn't contain my excitement for these speakers LOL and I wanted to share.
