    Re: Sonus Faber Fenice

    The swiveling midrange/tweeter unit on the back of the Fenice is very interesting. A speaker within a speaker.

    Maybe Frank will post a few photos of his Fenice along with the rest of his world class system.

    Thanks for the kind words Ken. Here are some photos. The speakers are one part of the system that will never leave the room.

    Is this what heaven looks like? OMG Frank. What a dream system. Beautiful room. I'm speechless.

    I would love to hear the Fenice.

    Re: Sonus Faber Fenice

    Wonderful photos, Frank! Thanks so much for posting them. I like those soundstage controls on the back of the Fenice. Your system never ceases to amaze me from top to bottom. How is the ARC Ref 10 Phono Pre working out for you?

    Best.

    The Ref Phono is fantastic Ken, especially in conjunction with the Ref 10 Linestage. I couldn't be happier with the combo.

    Glad to hear it worked out, Frank, I bet there's some great synergy there.
