My new front 3 speakers will be Sonus Faber Guarneri Memento for the left/right (with full new warranty) from my local dealer and a Sonus a Faber Cremona M Center finished in the matching homage glossy red violin finish from Ivan. I have 2 JLF112 subs to augment the bass from Ivan. I had thought of moving the sonus Faber Elipsa from my 2 channel room but I love the way they sound where they are especially since Bill (metafacts) from Sumiko set them up and I don't want to move them . Hopefully the SF GM will not be too small for my home theater compared to the Magnepan's they replace. Pictures and impressions to follow .
That is going to be a superb setup for a Home Theater! I have the Sonus Faber GMs powered by the MC501s and I absolutely love the sound ! Your SF mementos pairing with the F112 subs may give you a different though about the amazing Elipsas. Can't wait to see your setup.
