Sonus faber on a good amp, WEll my Seas single W18E001 + Millennium will perform equal to this mega priced Sonus faber.Not true. I have listened to many of your videos, including with the Thors. I have not heard a single video of yours with sound anywhere near the ballpark here. You are standing in the parking lot outside the stadium. I have heard your Wideband drivers too.....not better than even the Seas. There is a level of refinement in the Sonus Faber video that your system is miles away from......Sorry but yours is in the !
HiFi vs MidFi
I’m a relative noob to the audiophile scene, having just invested in an integrated amp and upscale (for me) speakers. From time to time, I hear the term “MidFi” for some components. Is there an objective or just largely accepted definition for this term? I’d be curious to hear feedback on what constitutes HiFi vs. MidFi across various components.

Now wait just one minute\ Are you saying Scan speak is superior to Seas.. How is this possible Both Midwoofers are 87db True Scanspeak madea very unique midwoofer with the Neo Dymium magnet, which indeed will out perform the Seas in dynamics. But then it all comes down to Carbon Fiber cone vs Magnesium. I'ma Mag fan. I serious doubt I'm going to like Carbon Fiber in upper mids with vocals/instruments classical muisc. This is where it come down to. Which do you prefer Seas Trym Or SonusFaber. I know which will have superior upper bass/lower midrange. The name Sonus Faber in big neon lights, flashing. Works every time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMQi4FgGuIc |
.not better than even the Seas
Well if we put the Thors back together and put 1 Thor on 1 channel, WBer (single 8) on the other. You might wish to vote for Thor. But that low sens will not work for my classical music. The WBer has no resonsnces at low/mid vol Its the only speaker that would work for my cup of tea. Not a panel, horn, stat, xover type. The sony cam does no justice to the WBer's performance. Music starts at 6:41. oh How I loved my Thors. Life like vocals, nice solid punch in the bass. clean smooth mids, no over hang resonances. no fatigue. Will give Sonus Faber 2 ways with the incredible Neo Dymium midwoofer from ScanSpeak, a good run for its money... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFr2NTqTT40 |
You see this is the problem when a speaker has a some sort of super tweeter. Sibilance If you can't hear the hisss Its going to grate on my nerves. + Multi midwoofers also creates issues. SF is trying to compete with Wilson's multi things. Tekton is also trying this mega multi speaker thing. Most drivers made by Scanspeak, Seas have serious flaws. And then we have these labs trying their hand at the idea that **More = better** Sorry ain't buying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afVwwe9Gyz4 |
And then we have these labs trying their hand at the idea that **More = better** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ then again , sometimes more is better Music start 8:34 Diana Krall,, never sounded so good. It was only after the DLW4 was added in the mix, is when Diana Krall’s voice took on sensuous charms. Came alive. I was like,,**ohh OK so this is Diana Krall doing her magic** A single DLVX8 just somehow did not capture all Diana has to give. 5 drivers,, more can be better. + New developements soon, Feburary/March. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgWR6IbqOOg&t=12s |
