Tempe Room 3 — System 2

Tempe Room 3 — System 2

Sonus faber Sonetto VIII and V on the McIntosh MA252 hybrid integrated, with the MT2 turntable.

Why This Pairing Works

Sonetto is where Sonus faber's cabinet craft becomes attainable, and this system pairs the VIII and the V so the difference between them can be heard back to back rather than argued about.

The McIntosh MA252 is the amplifier that surprises people — a hybrid integrated with exposed tubes and no display at all, deliberately stripped of everything McIntosh could remove while keeping the sound intact. Vinyl comes from the McIntosh MT2, digital from Linn network players, with a JL Audio subwoofer available for the smaller Sonetto V.

Not a compromise system. A system for a real room.

Tempe

This is a working system, set up and voiced in the room rather than displayed on a shelf. Walk in during business hours and ask to hear it, or book ahead if you would like the room prepared with your own music and time set aside for a longer session.
