After reading the May issue, if I had $ 40,000+ to spend, I'd order a pair of Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario with the Plinius Reference amp. My best friend treats cancer patients every day and is telling me I should never delay on these kinds of things! One of my former classmates was just diagnosed with testes cancer. We have to hurry up on this pleasure-now-not-later thing!

Is there any plan to review the (cough, cough) somewhat more affordable Guarneri Memento, preferably with cost-IS-object amplification if they can be tamed with that?

Thanks!

Hi,

Great review of the Focus 140 in the May issue! The comparison with the Special 25 is enlightening. I'd like to second the suggestion made by Dynaudio USA: please review the Confidence C1! I'm dreaming about it ever since I heard a demo and would love to read Stereophile's thoughts as well as advice on amplifier and room matching.

Hi guys, I can't seem to find any reviews on the JBL L880 studio floorstanders anywhere. Has anyone had any experience with these and how do they compare to say the Aelite Three?

Cheers.

I'm moving to the UK from NYC in a couple of months and I want to know the best way to convert the local UK 220V to 120V. Is there a great power conditioner that will do the job for me? Those crappy little Franzus adaptors don't seem the way to go for various reasons.
