| 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... | |
| Bass and Guarneri Homage Jeff, I personally run my G's with the Rowland model 8 which is ss. In my very small room, the G's have enough bass. Would like to try tubes as I am fairly sure that the G's are tube friendly. One amp that I thought would work really well would be... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage vs Extrema Twilo, the G's do not use a Skanning mid/woofer. They actually use a custom made driver from Audiotechnolgie.This driver which is from Denmark is specially made for SF and is several times the cost of the Skanning drivers.What did you hear driving... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage vs Extrema Look at my system and you will see I replaced the highly thought after Hales System 2 Signature's ( which I owned for nearly 17 years and are a great speaker) with the G's.IMHO, they are the best small speaker in the world and I have heard the Mag... | |
| Rowland classic comparision: Model 8 vs. 12's As an owner of an original Model 8 with choke power supply, I found it far superior to the model 201 I heard, at least IMHO. Have not heard the 501 so cannot say, but the 201 was not in the same league as my 8. The 201 was far less resolving and s... | |
| What dynamic spkr. did you go to from electrostat? Went from Acoustat 3's to Hales System 2 Signatures to Sonus Faber Guarneri Hommage's. Never looked back, the 'stat's' needed a large room and were completely lacking in dynamics compared to the others. | |
| What is your most beautiful component? Real toss up between my SF Guarneri's or my Rowland model 8.FWIW, wife prefers the SF's. | |
| What's your speaker IQ, and the best speaker? I just picked up a pair of Guarneri Hommage's, which IMHO are the best speaker I have ever heard for what they do. No real bottom end but everything else is magical, especially in my small room.Prior to buying these, I listened to B& W 802D's,... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? IMHO, the Sonus Faber Guarneri Hommage in my system with the Rowland 8( choke power supply) and the CAT signature is the best sound I have heard from a speaker. While some larger models like the Maxx 2 and Vandy 5A will go lower in the bass, their... | |
| Do you know of small speakers that sound ''BIG'' ? Sonus Faber Guarneri Hommage.. I just put a pair in my system and they are magic!Little lacking on bottom end, but what you do get is accurate and defined.By far the best speaker I have heard in my system..replaced Hales Signature 2's ( which were... | |
| what can go under an LP12? I have a Townsend Seismic Sink under my LP12.It is a major improvement in pace and timing for the table.Several years ago, one of the Linn reps suggested this to me. For some unknown reason it never got popular. | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri With my new pair of Guarneri Hommage's, I am using a Jeff Rowland model 8 ( 250 watts per channel) and it is magic.Seems like these two were made for each other. Try and hear the model 8 without mods if you can, the original choke power supply is ... | |
| Top Ten Speakers of All Time? Just bought a new pair of Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage speakers. They replaced my Hales System 2 Sig's and are far more musical.Having heard many speakers in the last 25 years, the G's are a real piece of art and IMHO the best speaker for small ens... |
