Default If you love something, set it free

If you love something, set it free, if it comes back, it's yours and meant to be... After 3 pairs of SF speakers in my house, really enjoying the experience and parting ways for some time, I have thought about the idea of all SF theater for a while. Well, today was the day to make the journey back to SF.

So I am back in the Sonus Faber big time. Elipsa, Cremona M center, 2 pairs of the Cremona Auditor Elipsa for my theater. Love the elegance and reasonable price vs performance aspect of the combo. With my dual Fathom F112s augmenting the bottom end, I am sure I will be thrilled with that combo.

The Bryston amps and transparent cabling all around will be great partners for them.

And don't forget the chips with the Questo....

Way to go Serge - that setup might even make you not change for a while...

Paul......."Questo č fantastico" translates to "This is fantastic."

No chips, but I would settle for a nice Mediterranean style garlic and white wine clam sauce on vermicelli noodles with fresh grated Parmesan. That would be fantastico.

I can see spending time with this setup for sure. Certainly not many flaws that I can think of. I just hope the Cremona Auditor Elipsa surrounds hold up to theater use.
