Ayre / Moon / Sonus Faber

Well this is it for now, but soon looking to upgrade Amps & Speakers.

Have recently auditioned the Moon P7/W7 pre/power with Sonus Faber Cremona M, Elipsa and Amati ......

Still gives the family sound I love at the moment, but SOOOOO much more of everything .... particularly loved the Elipsa speakers - which although giving a somewhat different presentation, allowed me to follow vocal movements, with emotion and detail + impact .... mmmm

Ayre C5XE, Gutwire C-Clef Power chord, Kimber Select KS1030, Moon i5, Gutwire PowerClef Chord, Kimber Crystal-24, Sonus Faber Grand Piano [just sold]. Russ Andrews Ultra Purifier Block/Signature Powerkord.
UPGRADE IMMINENT ..... mmmmm!

Re: Ayre / Moon / Sonus Faber

Well I may put some new pics on once I have upgrade.

My speakers have now been sold and I've upgraded my 8TC speaker cable to Crystal-24

New amps to be Moon P8/W7 or even P8/W8 if I can - with Sonus Faber Elipsa speakers or maybe Martin Logan Summit-X - but I have a dem first to decide, in a week or so.....

Can't wait......
