Rosso Fiorentino Arno 40 speakers Great speakers/Beautiful music

Just another brand with the biz model of stuffing mediocre, mid-fi drivers into a glitzed MDF box. 

Hey helomech,

Of course you are entitled to your opinion, but it would nice if it was based on facts or actual experience. The 40s are not just an MDF composed enclosure, put a complex multi-material layered design that leads to very low levels of cabinet added distortion equaling a very low noise floor. Secondly, the 40s series are based on new, designed and built for RF drivers, not off the shelf modified transducers from other companies. Of course, if you had read the review you would have seen factually that your statements are disingenuous.  

Hey dayglow,

The list of speakers on your audition list are some very fine designs. For my taste, and I have heard three of them, I still believe you would be more smitten with the 40s, if your taste is very similar to mine. Good luck at figuring out what speaker you will eventually decide on.

Hi @teejay you had mentioned about your upcoming review of the Qualio. Maybe I missed it- but can't seem to find it anywhere. Was really looking forward to it.

regards,

Manu

First, dxbwineguy something has come up regarding the review on the Qualio speakers. It's temporarily on hiatus for now.

Just had another guest listener come over to listen to the RF Arno 40s and he used the term "swept away by the beauty of the music" to describe his experience of the speakers. It's interesting to me that I and other listeners do not use analytical terms to try to explain the magic of this speaker, but descriptors that first talk about the emotional & visceral response to the music, not the "sound" of the speaker.
