That walnut is gorgeous. If I ever went SF, it would be my choice for finish. Nicely done.

My first choice is still red violin but the walnut looks awesome!

Absolutely beautiful.

Bruce,

Do the Evos require/need/like a little toe in?

Paul and Davey,

The Sonus Faber Evos are wonderful speakers. So musical and satisfying. Everything sounds great on them.

Amazing speaker with vocals, beautiful midrange and the most natural sounding speakers on recorded piano that I have ever owned.

never seen this color on Evo and it looks stunningly beautiful. WOW good for you. I've been considering to get the red color for sometime but need some more time to load the bullets before i can pull the trigger.

The walnut is beautiful but red violin red is my favorite.

Hi Bruce,
I'm just about to pull the trigger on a pair of these myself and considering a total reset on my system. If you could pair anything with the SF GEs, which type of amplification would you use? Do they need solid state or are tubes alright? Does it need an up tempo brighter amp or full laid back sound? I am selling my Ref 10 right now to help fund the purchase of the SF GEs and not sure what else I should pair with them. My source will remain the Bryston BDP-1 and BDA-1. Will add another turntable/cartridge at some point too. I appreciate your thoughts on this.
Thank you,
Bavarian05

Hello Bavarian05, I started out with a McIntosh MC452 and found it was way too much of a good thing with the Evos. Sweet, but slow and somewhat muddy, to my taste. I moved on to the ARC REF150 and, to me, it was a great match, except for the heat it generated in my small room. Ideally, I would have had two amps, the ARC and maybe my current Ayre solid state. I think the Evos do need waking up to achieve their fullest possible beauty. The Hegel that everyone is talking about could be a great match also, if you could swing it. I think it would make the Evos sing. I know Joe is going to pair one with his Strads.

I absolutely feel the Hegel H30 on any Sonus Faber speaker will be killer, especially the Evos!

i recently heard the evos playing with both aesthetix tube gear and classe ss gear. the classe was a bit much for them,just too much power and if you read any of my past posts you will see i never pick the ss over tubes in any case.lmao!!! but the aesthetix gear was awesome with evos and sounded so smooth and perfect i was blown away and they were using a really nice classe preamp with it. i was there to hear the rhea phonotage that was being sold used but loved the whole aesthetix/ evo setup it was just incredible. i even inquired if i could use these speakers with 300b amps and was invited back with my amps to try it and never did go back. id listen to joe and bruce though who have owned these speakers. best of luck!!!

Steve….I've owned Aesthetix and have heard it in numerous systems. I think it would be a great match, maybe similar to the ARC….Neutral, open, detailed and dynamic. It's been years, so I am going by memory.

yes ive always like their stuff, and used to dream of owning some in the past, but the new aesthetix stuff is mindbending good. i know Jeff is a dealer and had told me how good it is a few times, but until i heard some of it recently i wasnt convinced. now i am. and i didnt even hear any of the top of the line or signature pieces. and those evos are really great monitors. well out of my pricerange but i love them.

I will ill take a closer look at Hegel. My dealer just started carrying their stuff. I believe he has two different integrated amps from them. I have been throwing around the idea of trying the new Primaluna HP integrated with the new SF EVOs. Supposed to generate 85 watts per channel with KT-120s and also has the option to run KT-150s. If I go that route, I can still afford to also buy a Solid State option too. Hegel might be the ticket. I have a pair of new Walnut EVOs on hold with my dealer currently. Just waiting to move my ARC Ref 10 and 110...

[joeinid]

Congratulations! I think both Hegel and Primaluna will be awesome for different reasons. I love having both tube and solid state for variety. Please remember to let the Hegel settle in and give it some time before you judge it. Mine was harsh and congested out of the box. Now it simply stunning and will even get a little better. Enjoy!

My friend Elrocco just sold his Egglestonworks Andra 3s and bought a pair of Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolution ( Red Violin ) from somewhere in the USA if you are Canadian and want to save $$$$$$$$$$ that's the place to go congratulation Claude you bought nice & very good speakers The price was also very very good.

PS: 26k Canadian + taxes 15k Canadian + shipping.If you where Canadian where would you buy yours ?????

Sorry they are not walnut but i think that they deserve to be seen also.
