Default IL CREMONESE..On the way!

I have some news to share. I just pulled the trigger on these new beauties. They will be installed on Monday/Tuesday of next week. I'm debating between my futuras and evo's as the rears for my 5.1 set-up. Currently the Evo's are fulfilling that duty very well, but the opportunity to use a full-range speaker for the rear is something I've always wanted. We will play with both to see what works best. Very excited!

WOW using the Futuras as the rears just seems wrong but it will sound soooooo right!

Please provide you thoughts on the IL Cremonese vs the Futuras........ I am very interested in these speakers.

CONGRATS
