Your path to Sonus Faber

[daveneumann]

I'm a relatively new SF Amati Futura owner. They replaced Wilson Sasha 1's about 8 months ago and are my first SF speakers. I was evaluating Magico S5 against the Amati Futuras. At the end of the day, I appreciated the Magico's technical prowess but didn't love them. The AF's just made me smile and relax into the music...my left brain went quiet and the right brain just took over!

Over a period of 15 years, my speakers have included:

NHT 2.5i
Audio Physic Virgo III
Quad 2805
Martin Logan Spire
Wilson Sasha

As I reflect back on my speaker choices, it's clear that I was driven to speakers with transparency (lack of coloration) and detail. The Amati Futuras represent a departure for me, and one that I have found both rewarding in terms of musical enjoyment and relaxing in that I am no longer chasing unachievable goals. Now its just about enjoying the music.

It would be interesting to hear from current and prior SF owners. How did you come to choose SF speakers, and where you are on your path towards musical enjoyment.

Thanks,

Dave
