RE: The new Cremona Auditor from Sonus Faber

I agree. The Auditor is incredible speakers for its size. I've owned some other mini-monitors in the past, but nothing has come close to the performance of the Auditor. Especially its bass, WOW.....

I have both, Cremona Auditor and GPH. Cremona is very coherent from top to bottom with very tight and quick bottom end, much more coherent than large Cremona which I used to own. The bass is amazing for such small woofers, but that's only part of the strength. Top end extension and ambience is quite a bit better than GPH, thanks to the Ring Radiator tweeter. And the look is certainly a big plus. My biggest complaint of GPH is bass, it can sound slow at times even though it's every bit as fast as other speakers out there. But when compares to the absolute best like Cremona Auditor, GPH falls a little short. But for HT application, you might not gain anything with Cremona Auditor.

Overall, Cremona Auditor is much closer to Guarneri than Cremona to Amati. I think Cremona Auditor will become the all time Sonus Faber classic like Guarneri Homage.

There might be better monitors out there. One comes to mind, Dynaudio Special 25. I am a Dynaudio fan and admires their engineering and dedication, but Cremona Auditor is keeping me very happy right now in my bed room.
