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!

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!
