Very beautiful system. I have always loved the Sonus Faber Olympica series speakers, I have heard them at my local dealer and they are amazing. Even the bookshelves. Oh, you are talking about Ron from New Record Record Day. With a properly setup two channel or Home Theater, you will literally lose hours, days or weeks because you are so emotionally involved and the right song can almost bring you to tears, especially if it reminds you about something earlier in your life.

If 70s music sounds good on your system you've got a good system. Steely Dan sounds good and any system. If Rolling Stones let it bleed sounds good you've got a good system.

Hi JR, you certainly have impressive setup. I also have a sonus Faber front stage speakers with a multi-channel setup and I was wondering how's your noise floor? The reason why I ask... after my experience coming from a 2-channel to multi-channel... I couldn't believe how much my noise floor had risen! It was only when I eventually shielded the cables of length that the noise floor had finally been lowered! After viewing you're unshielded cables on your rear surrounds and of course with you being an audiophile, you seem like the perfect person to ask. After all with me being from the UK, it could be a voltage thing. 🤔

I will definitely have to experiment. I’m building my dream system from the speakers out. My next upgrade is a dedicated McIntosh MAC7200 for two channel listening. That comes later this week. I have not noticed a noise floor issue but that’s probably because I’m not usually critically listening when in multichannel mode. That’s mostly for games and movies.

Cant help wonder how much better the music would sound if you upgraded from the Rotel to better front end (pass labs, levinson, krell, McIntosh, Bel Canto etc) either separates or integrated. Also if you upgraded from Node/Dacmagic to an Aurender, Chord, or dCS?

I have a MAC7200 coming this week. I auditioned it with my same speakers at my local showroom and was blown away by the difference. Can’t wait. At least this will improve my 2-channel experience, and it has home theatre bypass too.

Using the sub crawl for positioning and setting up subs is really inaccurate , with usb mics being so cheap ($120) and REW being free, you'd be crazy not to invest the time and effort to just do it right, especially with the $$$$ spent here
@handroids1981

Agreed. Minidsp, umik-1 and REW would be a very small investment compared to total dollars spent. For probably around the same price as professional calibration.

Why are you streaming 2 channel music through an Apple TV box? Sonus Faber speakers are very mellow versus Bw which are very precise and need to be tamed. Cables and amplification are very important with BW speakers

Why does his statement about cables make you sigh? This is probably the most contentious subject in the audio universe. If you believe they all sound the same that’s fine but there are many who believe they can make a difference. Love and let live.
