Re: Thank you Franco Serblin for Sonus Faber Stradivarius speakers ...
+1. I am soooooo happy (again). I don't care who tells me how good these new Sonus Faber Lillium speakers are - I'm not changing.
The Strads are his timeless masterpiece....and one listen confirms that.
RIP.

Thanks Jock!
Mark,
We might have to talk. I've been busy. I'll get to my pm's shortly.
Thanks Cyril.
Mark,
I've been obsessing about these for a long time. These are not going anywhere. As Cyril says, other gear may come and go, not the Strads.
Hmmm. I may need a demo
Thanks Allen. I am happy now, there's no other place to go.

Enjoy! It would be good to hear what things you tweak (setup toe in, rake, cables and isolation feet or bases, etc.) to maximize the speakers.

Re: Thank you Franco Serblin for Sonus Faber Stradivarius speakers ...
Thanks Jock. I hope you get to hear them one day.
It's a great amp and was certainly on my list. But I think the Pass XS150's will be wonderful. There is a great Strad/Pass synergy. I had it the first time around with my XA160.5's too.
Thanks Cyril. No one ever wants me to take pics.
Mark - I moved from the Strads to the Aidas, to the D1's, to the D3's (rev 1) to the S5's to the D3's (Rev 2) to the Alexia's and back to the Strads....heck, I'm tired! The Strads work in my room. That's enough to keep them there for a very long time. Anything else would be a gamble as to whether they would work in my room or not.
You're right Cyril.
Thanks Allen. Are they in your future?
YES!!! Speakers with a soul will do that.

Thank you Bill. I was never able to hear the Elipsa SE and always thought Strads. My room has enough area where I feel the Strads work well. It's probably on the edge but I love it.
Thank you Nelson. It has been an obsession of mine and I should have skipped the TADs and gone straight to the Strads.

Re: Thank you Franco Serblin for Sonus Faber Stradivarius speakers ...
Thanks everyone.
It's funny, I don't find the Strads warm, too warm or overly ripe. To me they are perfect.
As for McIntosh, I don't think it's too much of a good thing. Like Paul says a little dark perhaps, but I don't mind it that way. I do find myself thinking about MC2301's once the MC601's are sold next week.
Even the CJ GAT/ART combo could be sweeter for my taste but it actually is PERFECT as it is now. The Hegel H30 is outstanding and the Pass gear is oh so wonderful.
Everything has a different flavor, nothing bad and actually, it's all really great. Color me lucky!Fleetwood Deville by Oswald Mills Audio, Vienna Acoustics Haydn Jubilee, Wharfedale Linton w/ stands, Klipsch RB-75, Klipsch RP-160M.

Re: Thank you Franco Serblin for Sonus Faber Stradivarius speakers ...
Well said Joe. I also find many people who haven't heard the Strads think they are warm. Then they hear them and are quite surprised at how balanced they are. And I have found the same thing....it doesn't matter what amp I put on them, they respond beautifully. They can rock right along with the Hegel or romance the listener with the Cary SET amps.
As for 2301's.....YES!My Systems: http://www.audioshark.org/showthread...481#post158481

Re: Thank you Franco Serblin for Sonus Faber Stradivarius speakers ...
Glad i was able to help in some (small ) way. They are definitely beautiful to look at (I have not heard them),but think that especially as more choices become available -(including$$) then looks DO become important.Sq definitely matters most but who wants to look at utter cr*p? These look like you will be very happy for a very long time.Cabinet making as an art - with great sound thrown in!!

There is something special about dual-ten-inch woofers in a loudspeaker cabinet design.
They are fast, forceful when needed and accurate/detailed in tandem....without being overbearing or flabby.
Yay.Avanti Audio

Re: Thank you Franco Serblin for Sonus Faber Stradivarius speakers ...
Are the Elipsas and Strads going to be phased out of production? I know that Paragon Sound is selling BNIB Elipsas for $11K because they state on their website that those are no longer being produced. Maybe the Elipsa is now only available as the Elipsa SE?? Or maybe both the Elipsa and Strads will no longer be produced?? I have no idea...just asking in case someone knows the details. Thanks.

Congrats to the both of you...I may have missed it, but, is there a reason we haven't seen pics yet?? Or are you both waiting for a photographer to visit.

I or anyone interested should see if FEDEX offers a domestic "LAST MINUTE RATE" for shipping heavy items within CONUS. Have no clue at this point - but when I have some time, I'll check. ...
