Sonus Faber Il Cremonese vs Lilium


Hello folks,

It's been a long time since I've used this forum but the need has arisen for more excellent audiophile advice. 

I'm on the verge of buying a used pair of Sonus Faber Il Cremonese or Lilium speakers. I have no dealer in my area and so I'm relying on reading reviews, talking to dealers who sell them and, now, on your advice. I'd like to know if anyone has compared these speakers and what the differences are. I'm upgrading from Wilson Sasha series 1 and am looking for more warmth and a bigger sound stage.

I'm running an MSB Premier DAC with the Power Base and the Digital Director and using Audio Quest cables (all of them silver wired models). I do have a big enough (dedicated) room for either - if Michael Fremer's room can work with a pair of Aidas there should be no problems for me (our rooms measure out to within inches of each other).

Thx in advance.

I can't comment on the comparison since I've not heard the Il Cremonese.  My friend has the Liliums and they are special.  Defiantly on the warm side of the spectrum. He runs them in a fully treated room that's about 14x22ft with standard height ceilings.  Good luck and cheers.
