Sonus Faber Anniversario's are in the House
I don't have time to post a impression as I am on my way out the door for dinner. Here are some pictures I took. I woke up thinking about the C500 and with the good advice of some friends here on AA I realized this would make a bigger improvement then swapping out electronics. My dealer agreed to let me have these for a home demo this weekend. He did not even ask me for a deposit... atleast he know's where I live. I will say this, these speakers are crazy. Anything bigger would be over kill, these may be over kill for my size room. I had to turn the JLsub off, if I keep these speakers the sub. will be going into the home theater.

There you go! When there is a will, there is a way. You may not get the bass qualities they are capable of until they are spiked. Once we get them optimized and on spikes, I am sure these will stay in your system for a very long time.

David, just think how far you have gotten with this hobby in a rather short amount of time. For many, the Amati's are a life long dream for sure. You have them right in front of you, what an accomplishment! Congrats and enjoy in good health!

[QUOTE=PHC1;65756]David, just think how far you have gotten with this hobby in a rather short amount of time.
All it takes is money and the willingness to spend it! David, I think you are exactly correct in trying the speaker change as opposed to the electronics change. Good luck, I hope you find what you are looking for.
