Default Cremona Auditor Ms

Just ordered the Auditor Ms and a REL B2 to replace my soon-to-be-for-sale Dynaudio 52SE/Stand4/Sub20A combo. Now the wait - 5 long days if Sumiko has them in stock. These will be my first SF. McIntosh C2200 pre, MC252 amp will be the engine. Source is Rega P7 TT/Dynavector DV20XH and Rotel RCD-1072.

I have a REL B2 on backorder but I am amazed at the bass output from the 6" mid-bass driver and this is with only 15 hrs use/breakin so far.

You have a very nice combination but you don't need me to tell you that, congrats . Give them more time and experiment with your speaker position. Enjoy

And, you are right about the bass output from the speaker, quite a bit from a speaker of this size.

KMC45,

I just noticed that you took the "caps" off of the adjustable rake in the back and slipped them up front - is that just to give you more upsloping rake or is there another benefit? Higher soundstage? Curious minds want to know...

KMC45.....What's with the speaker cables wrapped around the speaker column? Do the chicks dig that too?.....If so....I'll be doing that too.

That pair of 501's sure look nice between the Auditors.
