Sonus Faber Cremona/JL F112 VS Sonus Faber Elipsa

Congratulations on your new speakers. Sounds like you made the right decision. What electronics are you using?

What are the Elipsas retailing for these days? Trying to get a sense of what to compare them to.

I had the Elipsas for a home demo for a short while last year. 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.

My electronics in my 2 channel room are : Mcintosh C220 pre amp., Mcintosh MCD500 CDP/DAC, Sonos ZP90, Mcintosh MC501 x 2 mono amps., JLF112 sub. . I have had no issues brought up in Jon2020 post, maybe in his room it sounded that way. These are terrific speakers. I had a opportunity to get full trade in from my dealer on my 1 1/2 year old Cremona's (he had a buyer) plus 5 grand off of list so I went for it and I am glad I did. While I am sure I will buy new speakers some day these speakers will be in my system for many years.
My electronics in my home theater room are : Mcintosh MX120 pre amp/surround sound, Mcintosh MC207 amp., Magnepan MGIIIa speakers front L/R (I have had them 22 years and they were just completly refurbished), Velodyne sub., center channel, Paradigm dipole surround speakers.

Mcintosh and Sonus Faber is a perfect fit
