Wilson Benesch Arc Speakers?


Wilson Benesch Arc speakers can anyone tell me about them, I am about to buy new speakers, got a good offer on my current speakers. I was thinking about the new Sonus Faber Auditor(part of the Cremona line). But before I buy the Sonus I want some info on the Wilson Benesch as I have not been able to har them yet. They look really exciting, and I know that most of their line is very pricey.

So what can you tell me?

I listened to a ton of speakers before making my final decision, and the Wilson Benesch was a great speaker however I felt that it gives up detail in an effort to recreate low frequencies. I also really liked Dynaudio's but I went with Sonus Faber's new Cremona Auditor. I felt it was more detailed and just gave me goosebumps every time I listened to them.
Now I am on to electronics.
Jayme. Yes I have listened to the EAII's. I have owned the Concerto Grand Piano's and the Concerto's. And I still have a pair of Concertino Home's.

As for a comparison of the EAII vs The Cremona Auditor:
EAII is a killer speaker however the EAII was discontinued because of the Cremona Auditor. The Auditor costs about $1500 less.
The EAII has a Little and I mean Little more bass.
However the Auditor has a better efficiency and more detail.
Plus the Finish is incredible. Also the Cremona Auditor uses the new ScanSpeak Revelator woofers(very expensive) and one hell of a tweeter.
Jayme,

You do not want to hear the Amati's. If you do you might wind up taking out a home equity loan!
The Amati's are incredible, one of the best speakers you will ever hear.
Jayme,

One more thing:

The finish on the Amati's is also quite amazing, I like the Cremona that I have, but the Amati has a warmer tinted wood, more luxorious looking, spectacular actually.
