New sonus faber Cremona M version

Tda,

Keep a non-biased, non-hyped view when you hear your M's... I want to know exactly how you think it fares against the originals.

Thanks much friend,
Joey

You just gotta wait to hear it Tda.... I heard the Cremona and A/B/C it against the Auditor and the Concertino Domus, and I feel like I actually understand the differences between each step. The Cremona is truly a transcending speaker for me at that moment in time. I think it's one of the more musical speakers I've heard thus far.

But again, you have to hear the Cremona M before you can make your decision. Nothing we say on this forum is of any value unless you, yourself, can get a pair of ears onto the M and compare it in real time with the original, only then will you be able to pull the trigger.

I agree and DISAGREE with you TDA... :).

I agree that the Cremona does something that is able to better emotionally connect you to the music.

I disagree in that I believe the Cremona is indeed a hifi speaker. It may not be as lean as what is stereotypically "hifi", but to me and my ears, what say that the lean "hifi" sound is actually colored?

The Cremonas are very transparent to the source as its character changes with the upstream variations.

I love these speakers, and I don't even own a pair.

Joey

Either way... NO ONE has heard the actual production yet. I'm going to sit here with my Auditors and wait for the Auditor M.

IF the Cremona M truly madly and deeply blows me away... I just might replace my Martin Logan Summits for my reference setup.

Take a look at the Cremona M in all its glory! I wonder if a new Cremona Auditor is coming out...

TDA,

During the duration of this thread of yours, I ended up auditioning and re-auditioning the Cremona line of speakers. I ended up purchasing the Auditor which I will build around as my 2nd system for now. When the Auditor M comes out, I will see which one I prefer and move on from there.

Atleast, this gives me something to look forward to.

And plus, I dont think I made a bad move by purchasing a pair of used Auditors... because considering SF is planning to ship out on September... it will probably be a long long time before dealers actually see them. For example, NO local Chicago dealer has the Ellipsa... and it was announced several months ago.

I wont be surprised if the M reaches our dealers by January of 2008. Until then, I'll be enjoying my Auditors!

Joey

TDA,
My Cremona Auditors will arrive in 2 weeks or so... so I'm pretty excited to hear them in my room. I will keep an eye out for the Cremona M (if it hits my dealers) and most definitely, the Cremona Auditor M... and reassess my position with SF at that time.

I dont think this will drop the resale value of the original Cremonas just yet as there wont be any new Ms on audiogon just yet.

Joey

Probably not the true production pair as was stated earlier.

But, anyway, how did you like it??

:)
