The technology of the Aidas are making it further downstream. These things look so good!

    They make some dead sexy speakers.

    The ONLY way to up the sex appeal of a SF speaker, have Joey caress them while wearing his patented shorts.

    Your heart better be in tip top shape before laying eyes on that image...

    My heart just palpitated thinking about it. Him, his hairless arms, and god awful shorts. Straight out a horror movie!

    Now if only SF catered to the poor...
    Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!!

    Too bad they look way better than the sound. I have experienced many Fabers, even the sexier sister. Dynaudio or Wilson over the Fabers any day.

    I gotta hear the Il Cremonese... I did like the Liliums that you have in the pics.

    But my heart lies with the 802D3.

    To each his own, money no object, I'd take the Aida over anything I've heard to date. And yes, that includes the full Wilson line.

    I can see that too.

    The liliums sounded very natural from the demo I heard and I know I'd be able to tweak it better had I the room and control over the equipment.

    An excellent speaker.

    I've heard the Aidas in a both a large room and a small. They were EXCELLENT in BOTH! I thought the Wilsons would be capable of the same thing with all of the cabinet adjustments that could be made. The BIG Wilson's were never as balanced in the small room, tonally, as the Aidas. Now having said that, the Wilson's may not have like the Audio Research gear that was in the small room as much as the Aidas did, but the SF's were amazing!

    You are right, to each their own. Sonus Fabers are sexy in appearance. They just don't do anything spectacular sound wise. If money were no object object, I would not buy speakers. I would hire the singers instead.

    Joey. Have you done anything with your setup? Edited the rest out. Kiss kiss.

    Something big is coming...

    The Boulder 2060 has planted itself firm as the superior amp.

    My brother bought the Cary 211FE. I kept the SRA amp stands from the Cary for my future Cary 805AE.

    I might have to unload the Classe M600 for this next one.

    Just went to listen to Liliums... And they are superb speakers.

    No doubt. Once tweaked it is outstanding.

    I have not heard the Liliums yet. When I went to Paragon, they were not set up yet. I plan to head that way in the spring so I'll hopefully get a chance to hear both the Liliums and these.
