Something about how you move through the sound envelope makes me feel/imagine that I know how they would sound in real life - despite knowing that I still haven't heard them. Thanks for sharing. Don't stop.
I've four Sonus Faber Electa's purchased at a local thrift store. They were covered in white paint and needed new grilles. After stripping off the paint, refinishing them and applying new grille cloth, I was astounded by the clarity and soundstage these speakers presented. I'll be holding on to these gems for sure. Not a bad purchase for $30 for the whole lot!😁
Can't beat them for cabinet finish .i own the academy serendipity they are a little wife annoying because of size but oh well they sound much better than a moaning wife .
@@annenominous7220 a Mc has no sonic signature? I call bollocks. Ive yet to see any proper measurements showing Mcs measure neutral with no harmonics of any degree added for colouration.
I've listened to a lot of speakers and for the price, these are hard to beat. The McIntosh 5300 is supposed to be the most neutral but it's really hard to tell with these speakers. Sounds pretty warm to me. I love them. Nice job. Keep posting. I loved the video on the B&W Nautilus.
Thanx for this nice video! I've heard the Minima Amator in the 90's and sound was amazing! Is this a new version? The external appearance is like the older model.....
No matter what amp they play via RUclips what you hear is really just your own amp and speakers playing a bad recording. Go to a hi-fi store and listen...
What microphone are you using to capture these videos? This one sounds pretty good over my Focal Clear headphones - actually get the acoustic space coming through
May I ask what the artist and song is. Love your video and music choices 👌 Beautiful pieces of craftsmanship and engineering. Thanks for today's sip of wine 🍷 delicious.
è incredibile come la tecnologia oggi permetta di costruire diffusori così piccoli e performanti. Io ho ancora l'impostazione fino agli anni 90 Posseggo delle GBL TLX 60; Infinity 21i; Bose 301 Series IV; Technics SB-CS60 e altre che non ricordo, un paio da pavimento. Tutte datate ma perfettamente funzionanti e che non sostituirei mai. Poi nel 2006 ho acquistato le nuovissime Indiana Line HC-206 che effettivamente già dimostravano il passo in avanti rispetto alle GBL o alle Infinity, o ancora meglio rispetto alle Technics. Sono molto più piccole pur potendo essere pilotate da amplificatori della stessa potenza che uso per gli altri diffusori di dimensioni doppie. Sto guardando da diversi mesi diverse recensioni dei diffusori di nuova generazione, da scaffale, piccoli, pesanti e molto performanti. Esteticamente accattivanti e minimalisti, molto belli. Certo non costano 2 €....
@@Toki1908 I had Mcintosh MA5200 and Sonus faber Ceremona M , with ma5200 the bass was loose and top was dark, but after changing amplifier to Graaf-GM50b the bass become tighter and top is wide open and not shy any more, overall the sound become more live and transparent, the difference is like night and day.
Both are phenomenal speakers. Sound wise, these are a slight notch up, but it’s slight. What you’re really paying for here is the stunning walnut cabinets. No comparison, these are superior in every way when it comes to artistry, and they look more expensive than they actually are, as hard to believe as that may be!
Listening with headphones, but what a beautiful sound! This is maybe pushing it but does someone have heard the LS50 Meta to give a quick comparison, if at all possible? Would it be a big step up or would you say: can't compare, this is a different category.
I did listen both with the Naïm atom. They are in different leagues… the meta sounds good and engaging, dynamic. These SF create a layer of magic, something difficult to explain but the goosebumps I had may explain it all, more laidback and natural, they disappear, it’s only music. It’s also the triple of the price… the difference between good and great
Hi Pietro, McIntosh & Sonus faber is a great match, very musical. However, I think that Minima Amator 2 & MA252 sounds to warm. I have Minima Amator 2 and I love their detailed and polished sound, match them with a more neutral, lean amplifier and they sound magical. 😊
I have an issue with these small Sonus speakers. I have the Sonus Concertinos. Can’t handle power. I’ve blown the woofers 3 times. Love the sound but only at low volume.
Well then you're stupid sorry 😂 1. Small speakers can hardly achieve big sound levels and bass...you feed them a lot of power in order to do that. In that case you should've bought a bigger speaker with higher efficiency. 2. Also, each speaker has a rated power handling, *CONTINUOUS and PEAK* If you don't stay within that range..yeah, they'll blow.

Man, what a find! Great job.

I am in love for blue eyes and with Sonus Faber great italian speaker sound is very warm.
beautiful sounding speaker with superb Italian craftsmanship

...and what a fine painting and frame...
Felice possessore di minima amator da 30 anni,scelte dopo sterminate sessioni di ascolto,non le cambierei mai.
Davvero un bellissimo impianto e uno splendido luogo d'ascolto ! 👏
State of the Art cabinet finish, so beautiful wood
It seems that McIntosh/SF group has found perfect measure and synergy after they have sold AR. It makes it No.1 groupation in high end in my opinion.
AR?

Floored at how such a small system can elicit much emotion 👍
Wonderful, i believe these are my next bookshelf speakers. Thanks.
Beware, the McIntosh amp is hugely expensive driving them.

There is someone on YT who has these paired with a Pathos tube amp and it's is wonderful!
I listen on my speakers it's great, but when I thing little more , that's sound came from my speakers! My speakers is great to! :)
The same for me!! 😄
Technically, you are EQing your speakers to this end product (sonus faber speakers+rec+upload)
Sounds fabulous ✨👏✨👍🇬🇧
Красивый вальс на шикарном комплекте - мечта😊
A service for the hi fi market w no bias, thanks !
Wonderful
I don’t expecting the vocal sound will be that smooth!
Sonus Faber + McIntosh.. that's the one thing I WOULD expect.
It's like visiting the 1960s.
Wow. Amazing. 🎉
Simple and beautiful
Just lovely. How are they with more challenging music? Something with a little more meat on the bones.
They sound good with Eminem and Protoje to.
@@erikjohansson1488 He said music not noise
Complimenti e grazie
Piękna muzyka 😉😉
Lovely sound! But, I think - maybe - that wooden desk is muddying the sounds a bit?
Simply superb !!!❤❤❤
Nice set-up. Music ah relaxing..
Nice presentation....!
I mie occhi sono caduti sul tappeto della Sonus Faber😂😍👍🏽
#1 in my wishlist of bookshelf speakers, next is ProAc, then DynAudio...
Dynaudio then Totem Sky for me!
Great system, great sound!
Thanx for this nice video! I've heard the Minima Amator in the 90's and sound was amazing! Is this a new version? The external appearance is like the older model.....
Lovely
For a desktop set up this is cool 😎
Impressed 👍🏼
nice combination!
I would love to hear that amp with the Monitor Bronze 500 in that video!

WTF.. Amazing!

add an Audioquest Dragonfly dac. it gets even better.
Волшебный звук , Сонус Фабер !!!!
A nice little setup for a wood paneled study.
Big sound from a small package!!!
I like it!
Very nice.
Amazing
i hope this mc is better that the ma6300 that I was loaned, sonus faber give full sound for sure
PERFECT !

Great video and sound! How would you compare MA5300 to the MA252? Thanks
Small system and so great sound!
How do you think which of them is more interesting for Sonus Faber - McIntosh MA5300 or Accuphase E-280/380?
Sweet 💯.
@Sound Sommelier - How does it compare vs Olympica 1 ?
Sounding suberb
....now....which one is firing out of all these speackers?...seems all of them
Даже через ютуб слышно что хорошо звучат
Legend Macintosh amp
Buenas a todos 🙋♂️🎼💖👍tiene un sonido muy agradable 👌
Fantastic...But the cost it's very expensive...Too much for me..10k only speaker and amp...But the sound it is fantastic and realistic
I love the combo. wish I could have the McIntosh.
Don't wish, i had one and believe me there is nothing special about it, simply overrated in hi fi industry, not my taste.
@@ryanstanley2985 Which one you had? McIntosh? or the Minima?
@@ryanstanley2985 Mmm Maybe Generally anything hand built would be overrated. Non-the less I have a arcam sa20 very nice sounding.

@@jasonme3557 Arcam is a very good amplifier, I listened to it before.

what are the 2 floor standing speakers ?
thoughts on these vs the Sonetto 1? I love how these look but i do wonder if you're paying double for the looks & heritage aspect alone

No comparison, these are superior in every way when it comes to artistry, and they look more expensive than they actually are, as hard to believe as that may be!
Id like to hear Clif Richard’s wired for sound through these

Incredible! Just a question, are they the monitor bronze 500? 🧐 if yes what do you think about it?
Yes, that's wright. I have been buyed such 5 month ago. Only positive!
did you read the title?
He even hold the cam on the sonus
Is the sound of RP600M vs Sonus Faber Electa Amator III worth paying the sonus price or are they selling us smoke?
what do you think of the minimum amateur coupling II with McIntosh MA252 ?? Thanks to who will answer me !!!!

Fine room indeed , fantastic . But the speakers are well small , cant hide that , otherwise good
very good 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍
rất tuyệt

Possibly you have run your amp into clipping. More power is always safe than less power for speakers.
There is a definition for one who attempts the same behavior with the expectation for a different outcome...3 times you tried this...I see.
Less is more 👍👍👍
Dove sta il trucco.....
Little boomy, but I guess it gets better as it breaks in
Posseggo delle Electra amator......no ma chiedetemi se me ne separerei mai ......neanche morto....
Electa.....
Not even a word saying about those speakers. I only heard funeral music 😢
Macintosh no matter what …
