My modest little system

Just a 275 with Primare CD31, Primare PRE30 and a temporary pair of Sonus Faber Concertino speakers. In about a month I will have a new pair of Martin Logan Spire loudspeakers in place of those concertino's.

The MC275 is a wonder, no doubt about it. The sweet spot in my room is currently dead center and about 2/3rds of the way back. Since I am reconfiguring my bedroom there is no way right now to put a chair right in the sweet spot so most of my listening has been throughout the room. The midrange and overall smoothness is apparent from everywhere in the room and I can't stop listening.

Very nice. Very clean. Great job and be sure to give us an updated photo when you get the MLs.

Nice.
 
That looks like a GREAT little system. :yes:

I have been thinking of getting a pair of those speakers for my bedroom. My only concern is, how do they sound at very low volumes? I usually go to sleep to audio plays, I need a speaker that voices will be intelligible at very low volumes.
 
If this is your modest system I'd love to see your not-so-modest system! You've just made me put "audio rack" on my want list. Beautiful set up.
 
What do you think of the Concertinos? I've been thinking of moving from two large tower speakers to a pair of bookshelves and a sub.
 
The Concertino's are excellent speakers. I am currently borrowing these from a buddy of mine and I think that they are some of the nicer speakers you can get for around $2000 with stands, if you like the sound of two way monitors. I was able to get fairly impressive low bass out of them in my room with about 45 minutes of set up, although I think a nice sub would be a great addition. The MC275 really brings a smoothness to the Concertino's that I haven't heard from them before. I got the center image very tight with plenty of nuance. It took a while to get the nasal quality off of the vocals but once I did the soundstage gained depth and the vocals have an easy to listen to, slightly rolled off quality to them that I personally enjoy. Not one vocalist yet has sounded harsh or grating.

I've spent plenty of time with all of the Sonus Faber speakers and I truly think that Auditors and Auditor M's are the best two way monitors I've heard for the money. They are absolutely worth the step up from the Concertino's, though the Concertino's sound amazing for the cash. The Auditor has the ability to image like much more expensive speakers and the midrange is incredibly natural and super clean. They are fairily easy to integrate into a room and provide excellent low bass without a sub. They take up a small footprint and at least I think they would be perfect for a bedroom.

After I own the Martin Logans for a bit I'd like to get into Guarneri if I can afford them. Those would be my ultimate.

Congrats, looks like a very enjoyable system. :music: I've lived with Cremona A's for about 2 years before upgrading to Guarneri Memento's recently, I am very happy with them so far. :thmbsp:
