Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors - Room Size


Hi,

I liked the way SF Cremona Auditors present music. I like totem sound as well. But SF Cremona Auditors sounded a bit better to my taste. But I have a doubt whether such a small monitor with 6" woofer can fill a 20 x 20 room with music or not. The other options I like are SF Grand Piano Domus (a lot more than I want to pay), Totem Forest and Totem Hawk. Can you please let me know how will cremna auditor perform in a 20 x 20 room. I am thinking of pairing SF (both GP and Cremona Auditor) with cary SLI 80.

Hi,

Roof is 8 ft high. But I will moving the system to a higher roof room sometime in the near future...So currently it is 20 x 20 x 8...pretty soon it will be 20 x 20 x 18. Can you please let me know whether Auditors can work in these two rooms ? I read that Auditors can take upto 250 watts. I hope they can fill the bigger room at that wattage

Hi,

Which of the following options would you recommend for my 20 x 20 x 18 room for 2 channel set-up?

1. SF Cremona Auditor with REL Subwoofer

2. SF Grand Piano Domus

I am planning on using Cary SLI-80 as my integrated amp. Would you recommend Plinius 9200 SS Integrated amp (200 watts/ch ) over Cary SLI-80 for driving SF Cremona Auditor (or) Grand Piano Domus ?

Thanks

Newmonac,

You are saying cremona Auditors did not cut it for you in your bigger room..Can you tell me what size room you are referring to ? Can you let me know what you saw in terms of performance that drove you away from cremona auditors in a bigger room with higher roof ?

Thanks
Grakesh
Gali,

In what size room do you use your cremona auditors - velodyne DD12 combo ?

How do you compare Cremona and Cremona Auditors ? I was thinking Cremona will be full range and so will also help in HT. It is this same approach that made me consider GP Domus.

Thanks

213cobra,

Thanks for givin the input. I see that Zu Method is damn expensive for me to buy new and I dont see any used ones

Glai,

What is the roof height where your Cremona Auditors are played ...I mean 20 x 12 x ??

What are you driving your Cremon Auditors with ? What integrated amp would you recommend for Cremona Auditors ?

I auditioned Cremona Auditors with Pathos Logos and that combo is excellent

Thanks
Grakesh
213Cobra,

I would like to spend around $1000 for a USED/NEW sub which can match Cremona Auditors nicely in a 2 channel set-up....particularly the one that can help me fill a room of size 20 x 20 x 18

Thanks

Hi,

If I go with Cremona Auditors, Cary SLI-80 and REL sub....

1. How can I hook-up the sub into the system ? (Cary SLI 80)

2. Some folks have suggested putting in two subs into the system to amke it sound non-directional. If so, how can I hook-up two subwoofers to cary sli 80?

3. How can I make sure the sub and auditors synch with each other for the differen frequencies of the sound ?

Thanks
Grakesh
