    They sound great with the D'Agostino. I'll need to line up the other gear and play around.

    Jock,

    My excitement will have to settle a little but they are great speakers. I am anxious to hear them with the Dartzeel and even the Job 225.

    Dewey,

    You know you have great taste in gear. I understand what you were hearing.



    Seems like the Evos are the Yin and Yang to my TADs.

    Re: Sonus Faber Evolutions in walnut just showed up .....

    Joe....I don't think you will like them very much...they will sound dull and lifeless and their finish is dreadful. Just packed them up and send them my way. Although I rather have the red finish..I can live with the walnut.

    btw...just kidding...a BIG CONGRATS!!!

    They are absolutely incredible. Full bodied tone, vocals to die for, amazing acoustic playback. Just wonderful. So far this is with the Dagostino. I have more gear to try on them. I can't wait.

    Yeah must be (in reply to Joe's post #40 from the previous page). ...And I'm still losing my Internet connection today! ...I suspect that my service provider is behind it; I'm gonna cancel my services with them, I had it! ...And I'm gonna switch to a newer/better service provider, and with a good deal for a full year or two as a first time customer, so we can gain confidence from both sides.

    See, that's life! ...You don't have to be stuck with what you got!

    Joe,
    Are you using the Nordost TYR2 for speakers, have you thought of matching Nordost power cord and interconnect, could work nicely.

    Jeff,

    They are not the last word in detail but are VERY MUSICAL. Sort of anti-tads, but in a good way.

    Not yet on the TYR2. I am using bi-wire LAT International SS-3000(?). I've been using that on my TADs with great results and really like how it sounds with the Dagostino. I have not tried it on the Dartzeel yet, maybe tonight. I am using a Goldmund Sweetcord on my Dagostino and like that too.
