China Sea (except maybe having a telescope to check out the Saturday afternoon pleasure junks go by, but that's getting OT and could get me in trouble with the War Dept.!)
I think I'll pour myself a cold one this afternoon when I get home in your honour!

Howie - thank you for sharing the moment your new Strads arrived in your home. What a day for you! You are a man of enormous will power. To have these beauties sitting silent , forget will power, S&M epitomized.

As i sit and listen to my Auditors - I can only imagine what the pinnacle of Sonus Faber must sound like. Boggles my mind.

Aesthetically, Strads are second to none, IMHO. Musically, they must be divine.
Enjoy.

The most powerful and refined 50 watts I ever have heard.

The ability of pilotage is unbelievable.

I have read of very satisfied customers of the coupled one Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage and Nagra VPA.
