$0.00 Summary:
All SF speakers are gorgeous to look at, especially the Amati aniversario, the Domus Grand Piano is not an exception, it is beautiful to look at, and a delight to listen. Nevertheless, a speaker at this price range must sound good, not just look good. In my humble opinion, for the price range, and after auditioning several other speakers, including B&W, Dynaudio, Martin Logan, Opera; I felt that the SF Domus Grand Piano were the best of the lot. The best way to describe them is as incredibly musical, with an amazing level of detail, but were not as precise as the B&W, nevertheless I personally valued the musicality more. The sound is natural, even organic compared to other brands. This I would tend to think comes mainly from the use of a lute shaped design. They are very warm, although initially they tended to be somewhat low on bass and highs were a tad shrill. But after some consistent use the bass loosened up and the shrill went away; and the speakers really came into their own. One other point is that I have a Unison Research S6 tube amp that also tended to have somewhat feeble bass, but after changing the tubes to a sextet of Gold Lion KT 77's, and a pair of Mullard ECC82's, the sound improved incredibly, getting an amazing full range response at any sound level from the SF D GP. I also have a Lindemann 820 SACD, which I bought for a bargain, that undoubtedly helps get great sound from them as well. I listen to most types of music, from heavier rock to classical, and the speakers just rock regardless of whatever you throw at them, although prior to the tube change rock and more packaged pop music was not all that good as acoustic, bossanova, lounge, jazz or classic.
