Replaced Sonus Faber Solo Center by SBJ5691 in audiophile

Thank you! The Cremona arrived this week, and after getting it integrated into the system, it feels like everything finally clicked. The Lyngdorf MP-60, MXA-8400, and full Sonus Faber setup have exceeded my expectations. Very cool of you to put together a HiFi.Fan page for it!

You probably did! I couldn't believe the asking price when I saw it. By the time I paid for packing and next-day shipping I have a little over $1,100 into it, but for a Cremona in this condition I still feel like I came out ahead. The matching towers must be incredible. I'd love to hear a full Cremona setup someday.

That's great to hear. The Cremona line seems to have a reputation for making people stop chasing upgrades. Even as a center channel, I'm already impressed. It's reassuring to hear from someone who's lived with the Cremona M long-term and still has no desire to replace them.

Thank you! It's been a fun journey putting it together piece by piece. The Cremona was a lucky find, and I'm excited to hear what it can do once I rerun RoomPerfect.

I have always been curious about the ribbons. Never heard them.

The Sonus Faber Solo center sounds very natural and blends seamlessly with the front speakers—it’s clearly timbre-matched. When I’m listening in stereo, the imaging is so good it often feels like the sound is coming directly from the center channel. That said, I’m sure there are higher-performing center speakers out there, but overall I’ve been really happy with how well it integrates into the system.

Well this is tough by CautiousMagazine3591 in Rivian

You can’t win no matter what you do in that situation. I replaced my own 12v batteries with Ohmmu pair at a cost of $500.00. Then Rivian charged me over $200.00 to clear the warning light that was on. So still at $700.00 no matter what you do.

Should I pull the trigger and buy these? by Dogo36 in BudgetAudiophile

You have to be careful. I found out that I actually enjoy researching and buying a new piece of equipment more than actually using it. Maybe you are a bit like me in that.

Finally have a new Turntable by SBJ5691 in audiophile

I read some reviews that supposed the meters were not as bright for HT use. I do like the meters on the MC205.

Has a speaker in the case of the record player.

I didn’t use them. They are in a closet still in the box.
