Sonus Faber Guarneri systemThank you Highend64. I am still awed by the Rowland model 8, IMO it's still one of the very best ss amps, and I have heard nothing else that is significantly better. I think Jeff hit one out of the... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |

Sonus Faber Guarneri systemHi Pradeep, I am considering a second T5. However, I'm pretty happy with the set up right now and I'm not sure if a 2nd sub would overload the room a little.I'm also considering an upgrade to t... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
Sonus Faber Guarneri systemThanks, LLoyd. It is a real pleasure when everything works just so. Can't always count on that with tubes....BUT when tubes are singing, it makes up for all the hassles, at least IMHO. posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
Sonus Faber Guarneri systemThe tube problem is resolved and now the NOS Mullards are sounding great. Better highs, more robust lows and more precise imaging are some of the benefits to these tubes. Again, tube rolling is IMH... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
Sonus Faber Guarneri systemHi Lloyd, I am still getting the Mullards to break in so I'm not sure of the sound yet. I think that the Mullards are very strong in the bass and are also quite able to open up the soundstage vs . ... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |

Sonus Faber Guarneri systemLloyd, thank you for your thoughts.I had heard SF with Nordost on a few other occasions, but not with myGH's. Last year I tried Nordost Red Dawn 11 with my ARC and the GH's; I liked the com... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |

Sonus Faber Guarneri systemIf you have an opportunity to hear GH's, I think you may well like them a LOT better than the GM's. Many people, including myself do. I haven't heard the new GE's, BUT they had better be awfully da... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |
Sonus Faber Guarneri systemThanks, Jlind325is, I am pretty sure what you are saying in regards to the price bracket is correct. I know that the B and G series subs are better, as they should be for the money. Only problem is... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |
Sonus Faber Guarneri systemJlind325is, I am fairly certain I am not overdriving the sub. When I say that the cabinet is fairly resonant, what I mean is that while the sub is playing, I can feel the cabinet resonate, this is ... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |
Sonus Faber Guarneri systemThanks Jlind325is, I was considering upgrading the Speak-on cable as the stock unit is decidedly mediocre. Another upgrade would be some sort of vibration control applied to the top of the cabinet.... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |

Sonus Faber Guarneri systemHi Lapierre, I enjoyed a long listening session last night. I was utilizing my ARC D70Mk 2 and had the REL dialed in to a 'T'. What is so evident is that this subwoofer mates well with the mains an... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |
Sonus Faber Guarneri systemBranislav, the T5 is like most subs in my experience, a little bit difficult to integrate. However, what I really like about REL subs is that you can connect them up to the output of the amp; which... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |
