Sonus Faber Stradivari Palladio DONE!
 

Well, my quest for speakers is over for now. I have plonked down dough for a pair of limited edition Palladio Sonus Faber Stradivari. Only 25 pairs were produced worldwide with upgraded terminals and wiring in silver, palladium and rhodium as opposed to gold on the standard version.

Of course I realise that the Red Violin colour is to many the depiction of SF. My Memontos used to be in Red Violin :thumbsup: I think that the Strads look very nice in Palladio Natural Maple colour. A little bit scandinavian in look, if you know what I mean and less dominating in a living room setting.

Photos below are from the web. Mine will have to wait as they are coming directly out of the Sonus Faber Factory in Italy. :banana::banana::banana:

Wow -- congrats Howie -- I saw a pair of these in pictures just recently -- yes, rare is the word when one considers you'll own a pair w/serial numbers somewhere between 1 of 25.

Just awesome -- I'm sold on Elipsas after hearing them recently with my amps and preamps.

Congratulations.

Bob

How Awesome is that! I speak from first hand experience; you will love them Howie.

CONGRAD'S!

Congratulations Howie!

Now, the next difficult guess .... amps ..... ???

Easy MC2301's :smoking:

How much flour did it take to make that amount of dough? May have to hit the grocery store tomorrow -- (hope they have it on sale.....:D).

Just had to Howie.:D

Bob

Howie,
One word: sweeeeeet!

Way to go man! :thumbsup:

My Strad's adore Wireworld Platinum Eclipse speaker cables... :naughty:

Howie,
Congratulations on your new Strads., to me they are the best speakers you can put in your home . You are going to love the way they sound. Welcome back to Sonus Faber. Looking forward to your review and pictures. When will you have them ?

Howie,

Beautiful speakers. I believe that you have made a wise choice sonically, fiscally, and cosmetically.

Congrats!!!

Now, for the amps....
