Hi andrew i completly agree with you i may have missed making it clear that my comments was only my oppinon of it in that system. However the also compared it to the akurate cd and the difference where very clear. I have the full Linn klimax systems with klimax solo amps and klimax kontrol, thast 40 k alone. My source is still the sb3 with a linare ps i have spend huge amounth of time demoing speakeers using my own amps and when i heard the Sonus faber cremonas i simply couldent resist the sound. I liked them better then the amati and the stradivari. The cremona is under 10.000 usd but are priced way to low for what it dos. It uses all mundorf supreme crossover components and scanspeak revelator speakers drivers that are at least as good as the stradivari units if not better , franco serblin (the sonus faber designer) dont have a clue have to make money he uses the best components that are avileble at the given time and spens as much time as it takes making the speakers really sing with the cremona it was 3 years. but the sonus faber marketing people intetded to put it in there midrange priced sonus faber line thats why i was given a cheaper look. I love em and the are keepers regardless of what the cost the sound better to me then enything elase i have heard . -- harmonic ------------------------------------------------------------------------ harmonic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6879 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38815 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
