Hi boyscoot,
Very interesting thread, since i m planning to upgrade my speakers wich are the sf venere 2.5.My current system is the dev200 ( wich i m planning to upgrade to pro 220) and stream music via AIR3 on my macbook pro.I briefly auditionned sf oly2 once associated with naim amplification and i thought they bettered venere 2.5 by far. I auditionned also oly3 with dev 400 and i though they were very very good, but i can t compare them to oly2 because of the time seperation of the listening sessions.But; recently i auditioned A-B sf guarnieri and sabrina ; associated with dev 200 only! And wow, i started with guarnieri and i hoped bfore starting listening they win the duel, cause can t think of more beautiful elegant chic speaker ! And because i had a good offer on them.I was blown away by the beast,voices had plenty of texture , highs were good , bass( i though it was good
), mids fantastic,soundstage good but i don t remember the speakers disappeared ,dynamic just good.Just after i tried sabrina, and wowwwww! I need to say that it bettered the guarnieri in every aspect but precisely in lower octaves and transparency.It s like 2 tv screens, if both are exellents, you can t say wich one is your favorite untill you put them one next to each other.sabrina is more natural sound , more like you were there sound, black ground, dynamic is just terrific, The speakers disappeared and sound was fulfilling the room.
