FajjieI had an appointment to listen to #GoldenEar speakers today, but the shop hadn't yet brought them out of their warehouse. So instead, I listened to some sloppily set up #Sonus Faber Nova 5. The bass was unbalanced and swimming around. Perhaps the McIntosh 275 tube amp (75wpc) was partly to blame, but bass notes were late to arrive and late to leave. During warble tones at about 8ft away, the db meter jumped from 70db to 80db near the bottom frequencies. How did the rest of the music sound? I have no idea; the bass was too disconcerting. Why did they pair this amp and speaker? Maybe they knew something I don't, but to my ears it wasn't working.
