I am. The Khartago has all the upgrades Klaus was offering on it. Been very pleased with it.
The Sonetto 3’s sound better with my Peachtree GaN 400 power amp. (Class D)

What’s your experience with the two brands?
The Focals were just a tad bit big and boomy for my room I think.
The Sonus Faber’s have a nice detailed mid range but it’s almost like they’re too polite. Like a blanket is over my speakers.
The Dali’s lift that veil and shine & sparkle in a good way. The music is more lively, snare drums really pop, bigger soundstage…

Yeah I’ve been a little upset with my system lately, trying to get back to just enjoying the music. :cheers:
Twice I’ve attempted to upgrade my speakers (Focal Aria 948 & Sonus Faber Sonetto 3’s) and both times I ended up coming back to my $2000 Dali’s.
Please make it make sense…

It’s a “special” release but not exclusive to TP society members. Similar to the Sonny Rollins live album.
Bri, how does it sound? Can’t say I’m a big fan…

I was at that Shanahans show also, man I miss seeing them in small venues like that. Their energy was unreal at that time. Chino still had his dreads. Got to hang out on their tour bus afterwards for a bit with all four guys. Even got my Adrenaline CD signed, great times…
Man this new record is killer. Amazing that they’re still putting out quality stuff 30 yrs later. My vinyl copy will be arriving soon, it may not leave the turntable all weekend…

One listen through and I love it, but I’m a huge fan from the very beginning. You can tell the guys were focused & locked in on this one. Some of the guitar tones are downright filthy. Abe is killing it as usual and Chino sounds incredible. Top tier Deftones record…

This Bluesville Acoustic Sounds series is really good. The mastering is fantastic!

I’m starting to really like it now. I’m the biggest Dax fan but this one took a little longer to digest for me. Sounds great on good speakers I must say, and he still can sing his arse off!

Got some new records and a new cart to help me ride out this snowstorm. Stay safe all my South Louisiana friends…

Spent a good bit of time with the Sonetto 3’s thus far, mostly playing CD’s. Initially I hear lots of detail and better controlled bass response than the Dali’s. I love my Dali’s, they’re a great lower end speaker, but I think I’ve reached a notch higher with these guys. And most importantly, they seem to gel nice with my room, which was my main problem with my Focal Aria 948’s. I can’t wait to get my table back in a few days to really see what they can do. Only ran em so far with my Odyssey Khartago amp, I’ll eventually hook up the Peachtree and see what happens with that 400 watts per channel.
I’ll also have a new cartridge to break in…

I’m in as well! :dude:
Turntable is in the shop getting fitted for a new cartridge, so I’m going digital tonight. I did pick these up today and they sound pretty amazing…

So far I’ve gotten through the ST & WFTS (like you) and they both are really good! So happy to have proper 33rpm releases now. Can’t wait to get to the rest, I have plenty records from the holidays to get to actually after hitting up those 50% sales.
What did you think of the sound? Some people have reported issues but so far so good here. And for those who missed out on the box set, they’re about to release the titles individually… :cheers:
