My fellow audiophiles,
Thanks for your inputs and thoughts. Obviously there are strong supporters from both camps. I own a pair of smaller Sonus and I like them. I heard the Virgo I locally and actually met the designer years ago when they were at Immedia (Berkley) as they started distribution. I remembered thinking to myself, God that is the best loudspeaker I have ever heard (wasn't quite that much of an audiophile yet but know good sound when I hear it).
Now after going through so many different makes and models, I am getting weary and want to settle on a resident pair. I guess I will have to audition them for myself and decide (going to be tough as the rooms and associated components are going to be different will play a part to the synergy). As for the Cremona, it's a case of all these (great attributes) and good looks too. Once again my thanks and appreciation gentlemen.
