There is widespread believe that the Polish listings are either gray market or outright fraud. The first ones I saw many years ago were for a pair of Strads from a "school" that said that they were given the speakers by Franco Serblin himself and that they were selling them to support the school. As I remember, that story was shown to be completely false and the ad removed. All the Polish ads seem to be for 25% or more below going rate. And most of them stay on sale for 30 days. Nobody is biting on the ads. Maybe some of the ads are real, but nobody in the US wants to take the risk to find out.
Finding any used speakers in graphite is hard. Graphite is a very small portion of the original sales and you rarely see them up for sale. I believe that the Cremona M are being discontinued so you might try other dealers. But, my guess is that few have demo ones in graphite, unfortunately.
SF just introduced the Olympica line, as a replacement for Cremona, I believe. There is a bookshelf in the line that comes in graphite. I think it lists at $6,500, although you probably also want a stand. You might look into that. I have not seen or heard them.
