Bought SF Concertino Domus from Perfect HiFi.
Yes, besides Domus series, they do have carry Cremona series. Also they do carry Concerto Domus, floor standing speaker.
Added on May 4, 2008, 7:44 pmYou are absolutely right, your ears are the best tool to distinguish your best sound system based on your taste, it's subjective. No one is right or wrong.
Floor standing or bookshelf speakers really depend on your room dimension, setting out.
As my room is small, bookshelf speaker is adequate, otherwise, it's too boomy bass.
Cheers.
basically they had all sonus faber (i saw Stradivari, Amati, guarneri, Cremona, Auditor, Elipsa, Concertino at the shop. the real things is standing there. infact each time i went there i were to listen Amati, and total accumulate time i audit that specific amati has been more than 600 hours.) if you want. they also have wilson audio. if i am not mistaken MAXX2 is comming.
AE full range they also has. Mission too.

I find them ok, especially Alvin, he is a nice, patient gentleman, I have auditioned few times before finally made up my mind. Perhaps, pcwork can add more as he is very close to Alvin, pass over to you, pcwork.

well. he is super nice guy. with a lot of professional knowledge. they went singapore / hongkong for training. and Andy even went to sonus faber factory for a visit, and he did bring back 1 pair of pure white AMATI speaker, which is limited to 5 pair in the whole world only...
that's superb things. and it's sold....
if you interested to get their speaker. u may follow me the next trip i went there. perhaps this coming weeks. as alvin haven't issue me receipt for my concertino domus.
if i were to talk about alvin, i will describe him as "everythings also can bincang" kinda guy
and he is friendly to me. =) (your milage might vary) but as i knew alvin for about 2 years. he never show anythings bad to me.. so i guess that's safe enough for me to describe him as good man.
below is part of the picture taken at alvin place.
Disclaimer. this is not advertisement...i just share what i saw and thanks to coolerthings for his superb skill in taking pictures. if one found it's not suitable. please do let me know. i will edit this post to remove ALL pictures. Thanks.
transparent speaker jumper RM 1000, hey some one complaint that i am selling my jumper at high price (RM 250), QED which sound on par with my Goodman Cable also need to retail at RM 480 at CMY audio.. =P.

Puccini CDP dunno how much. but look damn sexy..

watt & puppy 7. Sophia is also there.

Clear audio Turn Table.

OHHH YES~~~ Stradivari. the highest of sonus faber..a dream that beyond my dream.. hahaa my dream is Guarneri Momento.. so this is a speaker that way beyond my dream... =P

this is the amati i listen almost everytime i went there...notice the cone? that is new cone, don't know how much. but the cone itself is more ex than my concertino according to alvin.. WTF...

demo unit of the concertino at side, wilson audio, amati. i brought my amp to test that concertino. damn nice after 500 hours of running for that specific concertino

Elipsa.. looks really cute. i though it's as big as stradivari, but shorter, who know it's hell small.. can put on table.. very nice.. wide baffle bookshelve..what i am impress is, that sonus faber even giving a bottle sort of white wax lotion to wipe the speaker body and the driver... i was thinking to get one bottle to wipe my concertino...when i asked alvin what is the white white gummy lotion.. he answered me.. it's "spe*m water" with this kind of face ->>>
OMG

Orpheus DAC.. (RM 100K eh..)
infact why i were so close to them , as i don't have enough money to bought a proper setup until recently. i previously bring my DIY cable to perfect hifi and CMY audio in cheras south to test it out.
with sort of lower end of hifi. some like AE neo, AE lite , Sonus faber concertino, or even proac Studio 110.
until recently i did Van Den Hul interconnects, i bring it to perfect hifi to test it on some 20-30K speaker. like auditor M.
alvin also did give me a lot of critism / suggestion (which the ratio has much more critism as compared to suggestion.. lol) anyway. i were to take that positive and continue to improve my cable. As the first time, he critic my cable of L is 0.4cm longer than R side. so he said that if he is customer, he will use my cable to tie up his dog....
so the next time, i made my cable exactly long. which i don't emphasis what i did over internet. but indeed i take that into serious account. cable length, soldering quality, price, sound quality, the material to match with such as soldering lead, or even RCA plugs.
i remember the last time he heard my cable.he were about to say somethings. then when i push the play button. he has weired face and say "ok loh.."
and that's comparing to some lower end Zu Cable.
lol
enjoy the picture gallery of higher end setup at picture above.. which doesn't belongs to me. hahaha
