Default I Feel The Lu Flu Coming on...Suggestions ?

I have been pretty happy with my home theater and my 2 channel situation for several years; I have been enjoying listening and enjoying music and movies without any desire to change... . I am starting to think about making some changes in the speaker department. I have SF GM in the theater and SF Elipsa in the the 2 channel room. I like the homage finish and sound of the GM but realize although they sound and look great for there size are not really HT speakers. The Elipsa sound fantastic as well, if they had the homage finish I would move them into my HT where I have the center speaker in the homage finish. I am looking to replace either the GM or my Elipsa but not both at the same time. I am not interested in the SF Futura ie metal top and bottom plate speakers. I like speakers that not only sound great but they have to look great as well which rules out Wilson for me. Looking for suggestions

How about the Elipsa SE (or "Red")? It is the same finish you like (and I am with you there!). Big difference compared to the original Elipsa.

I have thought about the Elipsa SE but am concerned it would be a lateral move ?

I have the Cremona M center with the homage finish which matches the GM. Are you in the market for some mint condition speakers at a great price

Not at the moment David but will keep it in mind if you still have them when I am ready to setup another system.

Sonus Fabers really do make for a great theater setup. This was my theater before I switched to all the Wilson speakers in it. I also had the Cremona M center.
