Shd be able to drive but dunno what is the level of the sound quality.

If not mistaken, that version is the Super XX.

Correct. They are in Black. Super XX is in shiny black finish. The Power button is very 'old-fashion' type.

I never really got a chance to pair it up with Sonus Faber. Currently, I feel that it is good with Epos ES11.

Will the original speaker stands bring the best out from the Domus? Any effects?

Since there is a discussion on speakers placement, I would like to tumpang a question.

Do you guys lay carpet for the whole sound room? Anyone has any comment on this?

Yes. I am using a carpet in the middle of the room too. However, I have heard some opinions that a fully carpeted room will improve sound quality.
Before I invest on it, I would like to seek opinions from you guys here.. That's why I raised such question.

What if we locate some CD shelves at the rear wall behind the listening chair?

For those of you who love Krell.. here is a new one...

Krell S-300i

Hello Folks.. There hasn't been any new posts in this thread for weeks.
Today I met up with one of my friends who owns a pair of Sonus Faber. (model unknown)

We had a chat and he told me his Roger tube amp already kaput.
Now, he is looking for an amp, preferably solid state and unsure which brand is good.
He is also asking me to help him to survey for the amp.

I would like to seek opinions from you guys here coz of the experience that you all have with Sonus Fabers.
I am sure there are lots of good amps that can be shortlisted (below RM10k).

Thanks.

Yes. Understood that RM10k might not be a high budget.
The Krell KAV-400xi and the new S-300i have been shortlisted.
If not mistaken, the prices of both are just below the RM10k barrier (at RM9.9k).
Unsure of the latest pricing for the S-300i as it has yet to arrive on our shore.
Maybe very soon.

Thanks for the recommendation.
Any possibility of landing a new unit of AR with such budget?
Sorry coz I really have no idea on the pricing of AR..

Will it be a bit difficult to find Pass Labs products in KL nowadays?

The amount of budget might not be high but somehow I still feel that it is his hard earned money.

The reason I am helping him is bcoz I dont want to see his beautiful set up just going to collect dust.
Apart from that, I just dont want to see him making a poor choice.


Oh ya.. What about MF and SimAudio?

I happen to find a shop selling the MF A3 int amp. That's why I asked.

I went into my room this morning and flipped through some magazines.
Then, Naim Audio, Primare and Copland also came into my mind.
huh.. so many brands out there to consider.

Well, at least after reading this thread, I know Krell is one of the best options.
Just curious about other brands.
With that sort of money, why not consider others before buying, rite?

There are not many people in Seremban who are into Hi Fi, let alone Sonus Faber.
It will be a bit disappointing if my friend gives up on this hobby.

I have seen some ppl quitting this hobby.

As far as I can remember, the model is something like Concertino Home.
But I cannot confirm the model now.
I have to pay him a visit 1st.

Hahaha.. I am not sure they are power hungry or not..
I have never tried using my 35Wpc Exposure on Sonus Concertino.
But on paper, Sonus Faber Concertino's power handling is 30 - 150W.
I myself also doubt whether my amp can drive it nicely.

Thank you for the suggestions.
It is so good that we have such thread here.
If not, I will be so limited to some point of views.

I hope one day I can also own a pair of Sonus Faber.
I have been sticking to my faithful Epos ES11 for almost a decade now.

Oh ya.. by the way, i heard that there is a model called Toy.
Any of you heard of it?

Found this review link from Perfect Hi Fi webpage...

Toy Review

Here's the specs from Sonus Faber website.
It looks cute..

Sonus Faber Toy Speaker specs

Sonus Faber Toy Tower specs

Model identified: Minima Amator

I went to check out the cables that he is using.
Interconnect: Audio Note AN-C
Speaker cables: Audio Note AN-B

I would like to hear Roksan Kandy LIII driving a pair of Sonus Minima Amator speakers. Really unsure how they will sound coz hardly see this combination being suggested.

Judging from the papers, the Roksan Kandy LIII has enough power and the price is not too high either.

Oh ya.. BTW, anyone here asked the price of a pair of Toy before?
Curious to know the price..

The design is quite similar to the one here....

Atacama Spike Shoe

I am using the same spike shoes..
Around RM150 for 8 biji..

I still can get these spike shoes if any of you here looking for them..

It will more quiet after using these spike shoes bcoz they will sort out some vibrations at the edge of the speaker stands.
The top side is made of metal and the base is actually made of natural rubber.
Acting like a damping effect for those bad vibrations.
