Help me find WARM speakers a la Sonus Faber
Martyki - I believe we both believe that the Cremona are warm speakers. All you are discussing is the degree of warmth. I just did not want the OP to get the idea from your post that Cremona were neutral or dark. 
Any good budget stereo cabinets?
There is an Ikea line people often talk about. I am not an Ikea person so do not know the details. A search might find the name. 
My personal experiences moving from Sttaf to Hawk
Glad you found a combination you like. Not surprised you liked the Hawk better than the Sttaf. I think your original dealer lead you astray. Naim is also a very good option with these Totems. I set up a Sttaf/Naim Nait 5i2 system for my sister-in-... 
Help me find WARM speakers a la Sonus Faber
Martykl - I also have original Cremona and for me they are definitely on the warm side compared to many speakers. If you read the Cremona reviews they pretty much all say the same thing. If you look at Atkinson's measurements there is a clear bump...

Help me find WARM speakers a la Sonus Faber
Used original Cremona can be had for less than half that price. I like them better than the Cremona M that replaced them. The original Cremona are fuller and lusher to my ears. Some think them colored and like the M better. They match well with Mc... 
how to fix ground loop him?
If it appeared when moving cables it might be a loose or bad cable. Systematic removing connects until you isolate the problem is usually the best method. Or remove all of then and plug them in one at a time. Tedious, but sometimes it is the only ...

Jazz on Downton Abbey
This was at the London Jazz Festival in 2011. I like to play this for diehard Downton fans. They are always amazed. And, when you listen carefully, you can still hear Lady Mary. She also sang at the 50th Anniversary of Ronnie ScottÂ’s Jazz club in ...

best mach for SB venere 1.5
I have not heard the Venere, so am just suggesting some good integrateds that you might not have considered, mostly at $2K or under. I have quite a bit of experience with SF, but not with the Venere line, unfortunately. At 85dB and 6 ohm they may ... 
Remote Control Codes for DHC 9.9
My guess you will not get much help on remotecentral. They are more about universal remotes to control multiple pieces rather than remotes supplied with individual electronics. I see you posted a stand alone comment on AVSform. You might send a pr... 
Sadly missed manufacturers
Matjet - I presume you mean KLH. I was going to add them along with Advent and AR also. KLH - Henry Kloss, Malcolm S. Low, and Josef Anton Hofmann. Kloss also founded Cambridge Soundworks and Tivoli audio, both successes in limited markets. At Cam... 
What are these sonus fabers worth?
Original cost of Concertino was about $1000 plus something like $300 for stands. There is currently a pair with stands for sale here for $800. SF importer Sumiko can be strict about not selling replacement parts unless you can prove they were purc...
