I LOVE mine, and often listen to them over my reference system.

You have a fantastic amp/pre so your speakers should match
Agree. I have the 402 with SF Cremonas and it is a match made in heaven (at least for my room and preferences).

So...I picked up a brand new pair of SF Sonetto Vs for $3600! $5k retail. Local store in Chicago is no longer going to be a dealer, so they're blowing them out. These are AMAZING!!!!!!!! Perfect speakers for my C2500/MC402 combo. So thrilled.

I'd post pics but it's such a pain isn't it? I don't think I can just cut and paste like everywhere else...don't I have to upload them elsewhere? let me try...
EDIT: guess I was wrong! one site, maybe hoffman, I have to upload to another source and then use that link. Forgot AA was easier...

Prudent decision. Best use of money to upgrade system performance. SF sound quality in an attractive and afforable package.

If you can control your sister with a Wii, please let me know how. Does it work for mothers and inlaws as well?

Oops, that should have said “system.” Damn spell-check.
