Life is definitely more interesting with Ivan in it. Sonus Faber must be very proud of the faith you put in the quality of their products to throw your hat into the ring for something ,at that level, without physically seeing it. I think a trip to Italy is in order, compliments of Sonus.

I don't think SF will have any trouble flogging every single pair. Don't expect any special favours!

We are contemplating a trip to Italy later this year. I would have to visit the factory.

Production on the Fenice' will begin late Sept thru next Summer.

Howie is right, "They are circling like Vultures" I am told.

Ivan...going back to the problem of where you would put it, have you figured out that dilemma in case you get 1 of the 3 coming stateside? It did not sound like the 2-ch room in the Cape is not big enough, so is there a spot for it in Miami?

I have other rooms in the Cape, then there is always Florida.

Sumiko sent me a press kit & flash drive loaded with HiRes photos of the Fenice' today.

Stay tuned...

I was going to ask the other day if they happened to send you the kit w/disc -- glad they did. Cool.

I don't believe any of the 3 USA pairs have been spoken for (i.e. paid in full) -- but interest is building. Have they decided to make 50 now (instead of 30?). Regardless, doubt JH would be able to get more -- SF is pretty staunch on what they say/what they do & Sumiko was only allotted/committed to 3 in the first place.

Only 30 will be made, buyers will be able to select the wood finish, aluminum end caps finish, and grille color.

One can even have their name engraved on the back.

I knew it was 30 but thought I read somewhere where someone mentioned 50 -- probably my mistake. Anyway, name engraving is cool, on coffins only -- incase you come up floating.
