All the new range from SF I have listened to, can't match my old SF lar, the "taste" is no longer can find on the new range. Try to use Audio Research or Audio Analogue to drive it. I have try a lot of amplifier from Krell, Mark Levinson, McIntosh.... to drive SF Cremona, only Audio Research and Audio Analogue is more match, the other is really not match at all.

QUOTE(auronthas @ Jun 9 2008, 06:00 PM) I have made audition at Perfect Hifi with Audio Analogue Primo Settanta SS integrated amplifier paired with SF concertino domus lately, they sound superbly warm, but when they played track 1 - Bali Runof Four Play album, i noticed some music instruments at certain frequencies (upper bass i think) are mess around, have you guys has the same experience? I was introduced also higher range AA Verdi Settanta (hybrid) integrated amp and AA Puccini Settanta integrated amp, unfortunately i have no time for audition or 'paisei', may be will listen to them next trip. I understand a powerful amp will drive less sensitive 4 ohm speaker like SF and make the sound warmer, deeper, and clear. I did go there and listened to this setup, but I think Perfect Hi-Fi didn't set it up properly. I heard the cable not really match the system. If change to other cable, the sound will be better.

QUOTE(auronthas @ Jun 15 2008, 03:14 PM) Great to know you also notice it.  Are you talking about speaker cable? It looks like Van den Hul, guess it's Royal Jade, dark green one. My previous speaker cable was VDH Goldwater, i have changed to Chord Carnival Silver Plus last month (run in around 60 hours now), it gives a more neutral and warm soundstage. Love it. That day I listened one I think it was a pair of Transparent Cable, not VDH. But I still think it did not match the system. I think a pair of speaker cable that can "hold back" a little bit of detail will be more control.
