| Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage vs Harbeth monitor 30 Have not heard the Harbeth's, but I would be very surprised if it would compare to the Guarneri's.I listened to the Spendor 5e's and compared these to my G's in my room. The 5e's are tremendous for the money, and would have been a real contender i... | |
| Unable to audition used speakers a problem I recently sold a very heavy and large pair of speakers on 'Gon. The Buyer was a local buyer ( Thank goodness!).I left the speakers up and running and actually required an audition prior to purchase. Why, because of these reasons: I am not willing... | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Mini? Dan, Just so you know, I am a little upset at your innuendo, the Mini's were brought over to me by a fellow 'phile, believe it or not, your problem.I never said they were dealer leant, you did! However,my dealer is local to me and had no problem w... | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Mini? musicality17, my room is very small...10'X11', the only saving grace is that it has a 15' vault ceiling.The Mini's in this room did not overpower the room, however, they were not a great match either. I suspect the width of your room will be a pro... | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Mini? sirspeedy, I too greatly admire Jeff Rowland. Which is one of the reasons I own his model 8. In some of my other threads, I talk about the difference between the choke power supply version and the later mono-power supply version. The consistancy t... | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Mini? Dan,Does price range have anything to do with ability?Why did you dealer not let you listen to the Mini's in your system?My statement wasn't in sarcasm or trying to be sarcastic...:0), the price difference is a fact. Your opinion is as valid as mi... | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Mini? Dan, I'm sure if you look at the graphs for the tweets you could conclude that the Mini's tweet is more extended than the Esotar. I for one always like to use my own ears, and rely less on stats. If you look at the way digital measures, you would ... | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Mini? Wslam, an interesting post. In my room, which is a small room, comparing the Mini's to the G's, I prefered the G's.All of my 'phile friends agreed; why, because the G's were more naturally extended in the highs and were able to portray depth in a ... | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Mini? sirspeedy, does the 8t mod also change the power supply away from the choke? I have heard the newer power supply, and I think that it is in fact a downgrade over the choke supply.( more noise artifacts and seemingly less inner detail)If it does no... | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Mini? Alexc, I would concur with everything you say, but, in a small/smaller room, I think the G's are a little more involving than the Kharma's. In a larger room, I am sure the G's cannot move enough air to present orchestral music or big band as well.... | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Mini? Pgulrich,That was the impression that I had also when I compared the Guarneri's to the Mini's.The Mini's are good but IMHO the G's are better.As far as cosmetics go, I guess that is a personal choice, but for me also the G's are in a different lea... | |
| Best SS amps with sound similar to tube amps Try listening to a Rowland model 8 with the choke supply if you can. IMHO it is the closest to tubes without the worry of where in the life of the tube you are and no concern with heat warming up your room in the summer.( Or winter here in S.Calif... | |
| Gruv Glide. How many use it? Used the version 11 for years. I feel it reduces any residual noise and minimizes static build-up. I actually use it after a machine cleaning and still feel it is beneficial. | |
| Top Ten Speakers of All Time? After owning my Sonus Faber Guarneri's for a couple of months, I feel they are definitely some of the best speakers I have ever heard, maybe the very best. In my top ten, they are either the top or second.. The original B&W Nautilus might be b... | |
| Bass and Guarneri Homage Jeff, I am certain in a very small room you don't want a sub with the G's. The G's are so transparent thaI feel you would have a very hard time matching up a good sub to them without loosing some of the purity and transparency of the G's.Again I g... |
