I love the sound of the Wireworld Eclipse 8 cables, which I would use with the EAIIIs or Nova's. After the Nova's are broken in, please share your thoughts about the sound differences.

Numerous JBL's from the 70's - Polk RT3000p - JBL 250Ti - SF Serafino .

Have had the Serafino's for ~ 2 weeks now, thoroughly enjoying them!

jdldmd82 Sir,

When convenient - update your signature w/gear -- it's helpful.

Best to you & welcome to AA,

Bob

audiogear & vintage tube, thank you. The Serafino's are my first Sonus Faber speakers. They replaced my JBL 250 Ti's.....bought new in 1986, and moved them into my son's house last Sunday. Glad he wanted them and could keep them in the family. I think i would have had a hard time selling them outright, rather attached to them.

Jack

It's been a long journey. Here are a few of the speakers I've had, at least the ones I can remember.

Bozak two-way, Magnepan MG1, JSE Infinite Slope 1's and 2's, Chapman T7, Magnepan MMG's, Sonus Faber Liuto Monitors, Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor M, Magnepan LRS+ and finally the "end game keepers," Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage- the original Serblin design. Mine were made in 2004 and except for a few of the usual sagging grille strings, are in pristine condition.

The Guarneri are truly wonderful speakers.
