Sonus Faber Cremona/JL F112 VS Sonus Faber Elipsa

Do you suppose that the SF Cremona (floor standing model) with the JL audio Fathom F112 sub would sound equal or better to the SF Elipsa without a sub. ?

At moderate volume, the sound is good but when you try to crank things up, they start to sound congested, shrill and the soundstage collapses. Also, the Elipsas don't go low enough for a full orchestral foundation. In a different league altogether are The Music from Vienna Acoustics. I bought the latter.

The Brystons did not do it for me. So, I guess we are back to the component synergy issues.
