Franco Serblin gave up on trying to perfect bass from a speaker. He is reputed to have said, "When you want more bass, you miss it; when you have it, it disturbs you." IMO he was one of the greatest speaker designers ever - I've owned Minimas, Electa Amators, and Extremas (kept for 25 years). His GH design was probably his best work, though the Extremes could do more in right room with right power. You have a work of art and the heart. Enjoy them!
Thanks for your thoughts....I think I am going to hold on to these Homage...n continue to enjoy them!

Hi Bruce,

Yes...I was referring to the Guarneri Homage, vs Memento, Evolution and Tradition. I haven't been lucky enough to hear the others yet...but yes...very happy with the originals, surprisingly so.

I agree with you. Like others have already said, if I could have kept mine, I would have. They belong for me in the pantheon of all time great speakers. The balance of all its virtues is exceptional.
