Guarneri Memento

I replaced a pair of B&W 805S with SF Guarneri Memento. I like monitors because their imaging capabilities are superb and they are easy to position. Another neat thing is, if I sit in the middle, I often cannot hear the sound coming from the loudspeakers. The sound appears from no where.

GM comes in 3 boxes: speakers, columns, and bottom platform.

Here they are!

The loudspeakers were inside these red bags, nice touch

PS. My photography skills do not do these beauties justice!

Finally, they were bolted onto the columns :banana:

TommyC.......Wow. These four photos with the red cloth were almost like undressing a beautiful woman. Absolutely beautiful. :yes:

It was hard to get good photos of the GM because the thing is tilted.

The colour in this one doesn't look as red because of the flash

Beautiful. BEAUTIFUL. Congratulations Tommy. I am literally in "audio love" with my Guarneri Homage. I am not kidding when I say that there is no speaker I'd rather have for my "smallish" listening room: great looks + amazing sound = what else could you ask for.
