intergrated also
i think it's 55i
i comparing both intergrated.
for me. pre/power configuration is a dream that is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FAR away from me.
lol
i do listen it with jazz and classical.
the fastest song i listen is take dake "ju ju"
most of my song collection were jazz.... janis ian..andrea bocelli sort of things.
the speed i mean is not for fast pace of music. it's really accurate... when we talking about detail. we can often say micro detail. however this speed i am refering is. making the sonus faber free from "lagg". or the speed for micro detail that it doesn't makes the sound sticky... hopes u get what i mean. my experience is  i listening to Yo-yo Ma. the extra speed and extra accuracies makes the cello sounds realistic. which pops in my mind that "hm.. this sounds more like cello to me.." and the emotion really did well. controlling SF really great. which i don't even can obtain same amount of emotion with my own setup although i blast it with much louder volume. the emotion is just not there.
as compare to primare setup i tried in CMY. primare is good for proac. but imho. Krell / Audio research is more fun for Sonus.

when i bought my SFCD. i thinking of "AS SMOOTH AS POSSIBLE" and those words slaps in my brain deeply.
hence i was thinking i don't even upgrade my amp from NAD.
i am quite happy with heavily modified NAD. however. now. after i tested the krell with my own sonus, i really miss the "control" of the amp.
it's not matter of how loud. it's matter of controlling. and the speed / accuracies will truly add refinement on reproducing the great minor notes that is SO important in orchestra / vocal / jazz... which it truly brings great information about emotion of the players / singer.
however. i also tested the audio analoge.. which IMHO. its not my cup of tea.. i don't know why. i prefer my own NAD more than the 10X higher price audio analoge.. it's too digital for my ear imho.
=P
i think if i were to describe it...

my NAD = photo that is blured, but smooth enough for ppl to see the object. but not micro detail. and it's more emphasise on the scene itself.. rather than all detail. u can enjoy the picture of the scene. but it's not that clear.. so some might as well call it as "ART" feeling. nothings to wow about any accuracies, or any superior comes from the picture. to enjoy the picture is just purely from the scene(songs) itself, and perhaps the skill / angle taking by the photographer (tuning of accesories such as cable)

Krell = sort of carl zeiss with superb combination of aparture setting. depth of field.. nice contrast.. nice focus... clear at places that it should be clear., blur at places it shall blur, super accurate tone of colour(accurate white balance) , red means red, blue means blue (which in this case, grate tonality). well.. it's all great for me.. while in this other hand. i feel that audio research were sort of leica.. also all great for me. and i like leica more than zeiss though =P

Audio analoge = Photoshop created computer CG. which super detail from the front to the end. which imho.. fake to my ear though. pls note my words that the setup is what i tested at perfect hifi, with my own sfcd, and the cable patched by alvin on the setup. i not sure why it's like that. but i just don't like it. i might needs another listen to clearly appriciate it's benefits.
hopes it give a greater ideal.

If you can audition it in your listening environment, you might as well buy it. This week, 2 more people bought SF Grand Piano Domus to use with their Krell KAV-400xi amps. 

BTW, IMO you'd need to identfy yourself and state your interests in a public forum like LYN here. 

You mean they allowed to bring Krell KAV 400xi home for audition? Looking forward to listen to this amp with my speaker, if everything goes smoothly i would upgrade by end of next month.

It's great of you to offer home auditioning of KAV-400Xi amp, else owners of SF Grand Piano Domus would have a tough time transporting their loudspeakers to dealers' showroom.

BTW, IMO you'd need to identfy yourself and state your interests in a public forum like LYN here. 

Given a chance, try to listen to the Ayre CX-7e CD player paired with the KAV-400xi with the speaker of the dealer's (or yours) choice in balanced (XLR) mode. It should be an interesting experience.

SimAudio Moon i-3 integrated amp, do checkout my new blog with an unfurnished first article at www.finetone.blogspot.com

Vibrapods available at Tong Lee Co.

Just vocals alone maybe LS3/5A better.

But overall musicality, SonusFaber better.

RM 3.6K, new pair how much?

I wonder Concertino Domus / Home able to experience till this "level" with appropriate amp...

"The room is only 9' x 11' and I am seated about 6' from the speakers. Definitely a "nearfield" listening room. With the Sonus Fabers. the speakers COMPLETELY disappear in this set-up. At night when listening and closing my eyes, the sound is palpable, three dimensional, and, as Sam Tellig puts it, "there is a lot of there, there." - From one of the forumer from headfi.com

However, this guy using higher end Sonus Faber...

I am referring to amplifiers with good resolving ability, meaning sound stay unconfused as music passages turn more complex and in the case of Classical music especially Symphonies, we are able to follow each different instrument more easily rather than hearing a chunk of undistinguishable sound.

Different amplifiers do have different resolving ability; you will need to hear them yourself to appreciate this which could not be taught in a forum like this. Happy Listening, mate 

Bro auronthas,

Another dream fulfilled.. 

Welcome to the Krell club!

Hey auronthas, Congratulations!!! Did you get a special price for that?
Your SF must be singing now 

Is it because that Krell able to pump at least 200w to your speaker compare to your your less than 100w amp?

I wonder other brand 200w able to produce same quality...(I know sound signiture may difference)

Bottomline, trust your very own ears and feeling as it is you who are going to live with the amplifier and not me or any other person. There is no such thing as the ultimate system or equipment to own but all these are merely equipment for us to Enjoy the Music. 

the thing is , Enya's music actually has alot of sub-sonic notes, and only the deepest systems that are capable to go down to 20Hz would fully reveal the whole spectrum of Enya music.

seems like with the Krell 400xi, now the front-end source devices could use some upgrade

If you can get a CD player or DAC that can output balanced signals (XLR connectors)  to the Krell, its a whole new level of experience again.  Krell has always emphasised and preferred balanced connections over single-ended (RCA) connections.
