So - it all arrived today and now is set up and running in - certainly needed a few hours before it was doing much, but now it's starting to show SOME of what I heard in the demo ... but the first 48 hours are NEEDED and then will improve for another 3-6 weeks ...... fun fun fun ..... !!

Yeah - that was PURE luck ...... as I've had the rack 6 years!

Saw the new Moon 750 CD/DAC in the shop today, so trying that on demo at home over Christmas !! Will match the amps of course, so will see if it takes my fancy !

Cheers!

I think you are going to be very happy when your gear breaks in. That is one very nice set-up. Looking forward to your comments in a few weeks when you have a lot of hour on them.
Happy Listening

Big Air - Congrats - what a setup! I wish I were still traveling regularly to Richmond - I'd be calling to check that out!

Wonderful smooth speakers. Last week, I got a chance to hear them and the Nola Micro Grand Reference ($15K). I'd like to say the Sonus Faber blew me away but I can't - the Nola got my nod.

As a Cremona Auditor M owner, my upgrade path should be the Guarneri Mememto. But after hearing the Nolas, I'm having second thoughts.

Cheers,
George

With the Cremona and Homage line of speakers, you can look right at the speakers and it seems like no sound is coming out of the speakers but rather between, behind, above ie all around them.
WoW.

Looking forward to your thoughts.
