The upgrade bug has bitten me yet again so its time to succumb to its power and look for new speakers. I currently have the SF Guaneri Evolution standmount speakers. I have no actual complaints about these speakers. After adding 2 small subs to my system, I am very satisfied with the sound...

I recently added a REL T/5i sub to my system and have been very happy with the results. Integration was a breeze with my Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolution monitors and I am now more engaged in my music than ever. So of course being a typical audiophile, I got to thinking if 1 sub sounds this good...

Rockitman's advice is definitely right on. Definitely dont over do it with room treatments. I only treat the room corners and first reflection points. I am experimenting to see if diffusion or absorption works best on the front wall between the speakers. I think conventional wisdom is that...

Due to the inefficiency of my Evolutions conventional wisdom says that they need a lot of power to perform at their best. According to my handy cheapo Radio Shack SPL meter my typical listening volume is in the range of 60-70db. At these levels, I would need less than a watt power to drive my...

Hi gang. I am looking to make a "final" (yeah right) upgrade to my integrated amplifier driving my SF Guaneri Evolution speakers. My current integrated is Accustic Arts Power 1. While I do not have any major complaints I wonder if I can do better (you dont know what you dont know right?). I...

I am using an old HTPC running an Atom 525 processor as my music server. I've been using a Keces linear power supply for a while now on it and have been very happy with the results. Having read about the benefits of battery power I am going to try that next on my PC. My question is what power...

I just came across a review by someone using the Line Magnetic 218 and 518 with his Evolutions with great success. He even mentions that at normal listening levels the speakers only draw less than 1w! Could this be possible? Can a 22w SET really drive the Evolutions? I hope so because I want...

Yeah baby! They arrived yesterday and I almost killed myself moving the stands in place. I am still sore. I havent listened critically yet but just based on looks alone these speakers are worth it! So far my listening impressions are very positive, more clarity, bass, and nuance. Here is...

Anyone here familiar with the Line Magnetic 518 SET integrated? I have read some wonderful things about this int amp. I am not sure if it has enough power for my SF Evolutions however but I dont listen at very loud volumes so maybe it will be alright?

Needless to say I am pretty stoked. As much as I love the red violin finish something about the graphite really caught my eye. They should be arriving sometime next week. The Evolutions are replacing my beloved Cremona Auditors which I will be moving to my bedroom setup where they will be...

Long time lurker first time poster. I've been an audio junkie since when my parents purchased me a Radioshack AM/FM radio back when I was in 2nd grade. I vividly remember staying in my bedroom all Sunday morning so I could listen to the America's Top 40 countdown with Casey Kasem. My dad...
