What sonus faber range go loud

[Still-One]

I sat thru a Sonus Faber demo where they pushed the Elipsa SE to the point where I thought the drivers were going to shoot across the room. He was trying to show these where not just for soft music, violins or female vocalists.

I have thought of it I have a JLf113 but I could never get it to blend well so I just use it for movies if I set my h/t reliever to full range Sonus Faber cremona M fail on full range woofer pop

So do mine. Mine play loud & the bass is very good.

I also have the Cremona's(not M's). Amazing speakers. As with your M's mine are a little shallow on the bass.

My M's draw complaints from the neighbors (I live in a townhouse) if I crank up my MA6600 above 40 (and I've never had it above 55). Pull them out from the walls to improve bass. If that isnt enough, consider RELs.

If I had a choice when I bought my Elipsa , I would have gotten the SE glossy finish

I have the Elipsa SE's and they can rock the house. Paired with the 601's, my ears cry for mercy long before the Elipsa's give out.

I wonder how much louder than the CremonaM I like the Elipsa. But wounded how much more output?
Is there any max spl rating on these speakers? I mean they all must have some point where they just reach a ceiling and it does matter if you put 5000watts through them they stop go louder at some point right?

The Elipsa SE in Red Violin is beautiful.

Ok, I have to ask.....If your primary concern is how loud they will play are you sure any Sf is the right speaker for you? I dont think that sheer volume levels is one of Sf's primary design criteria even for Aida or Lilium. Would you be happier with Wilson, B&W, Magico or others that might be more "dynamic" ?
