SF Cremona Auditor M: A Review

[usernamen]

Actually I have to agree with you about the Liutos. They are probably the only loudspeakers in the Sonus faber range which just don't do it for me. I found them to be too bulky and they are (in my opinion!) missing the typical and subtle elegance for which i love the sonus brand.

by the way: another thing I'm considering right now is to wait another year or two, play music happily with my system - then re-evaluate and go for a used pair of Guarneri mementos which are my absolute dream speakers until then I would've saved enough money to afford fitting gear without being afraid of weak amplifiers.

Here in Europe you could - if your lucky - get your hands on a pair 'just' for about 6k~ dollars. Well to buy or not to buy that's an audiophile's question

until then,
take care

The question that was posed, but doesn't need an answer anymore as I see now, I'm using the Auditor M's with a Primaluna Dialogue1. And it just works fine.

Hi Beetof,

How is the Primaluna Dialogue sounding with the Auditor M's? I'm thinking about going for the Yarland FV34 B tube amp also with EL 34 tubes push pull design with 50w.

Thanks for any tips experienced audiophiles!

Hi all, this my first post on this forum.
I spent most of Monday last listening to the floorstanding Cremona Ms at a local dealers. I'd heard them on a previous listening and I went in yesterday thinking it was just a formality to confirm how good they sounded along with how beautiful they looked. I had lugged my Graaf GM50 integrated valve amp along just to confirm they would work with the relatively low (50W) output.
They certainly put out a lot of sound and particularly a LOT of low bass, too much in my smallish lounge I thought. The Cremona Auditors sounded more balanced to my ears and didn't lose out much in detail or separation. Having heard the Toys on a previous occasion both the Cremonas were a massive step up though
However in the end I went for a Sonus Faber speaker with a stronger mid and richer sound. The tiny but stupendous Elipsa Auditors. Just amazing on the end of my Graaf.
