Sonus Faber Signum

Postby endrik35 » Mon Nov 28, 2011 8:55 am

Bought this speakers from Audie(Botching) early this year and this purchase was probably the most SULIT purchase I ever made. Kahit nadinig ko yung Devore and Amati speakers during the recent h-ifi show and drooled at them, soundwise, I don't feel any inkling to upgrade my speakers at the moment. Signums were designed by Franco Serblin, the founder of SF. Being bookshelve's, I crave for a tad more bass and a few years back, Cal(Ctjader) taught me how to modify your speaker stands and the end result is to convert or sway you into believing that what you hear is a floorstander and not a bookshelf. What I got from this cheap tweak are tighter bass, more detailed mids and slight taming of the highs. It may or may not work for your system, improvement is really subjective but for the measly cost of 100 php or less, there's no harm in trying. So last Saturday, I went to National bookstore and bought myself 2 plys of styrofoam pads and 2 large sheets of brown felt paper. and here is the finished product. . .

Endrik, I love and heard that signum SF before and I was really impressed. I believed that speaker you bought from botching is the same speaker that I heard and saw. Mint and perfect condition., congrats!! :)

Hi Endrik,

You have a pair of one of SF classic and I know that you very much enjoy listening to them. When you decide to try SF's newer models, suggest that you still don't let go of your Signums because they are for keeps really. ;)

Thanks Sir Bert sa advice. Rest assured na oras na yumaman ako like doc PHILPATH, makakabili din ako amati futura. :-) actualy,tinabi ko b&w 801 ko which is another classic speaker in favor of the signums. Audie,uwi ka december at kitakits naman tayo. A few friends of mine prefer the signums sound over the focus audio 688 so I think I'll keep this babies for a long long time! ;)
