Thanks tda! Sonus Faber has apparently followed B&W and JmLab/Focal in moving from a warmer sound to a more precise sound.
The Elipsa reviews I've seen haven't mentioned the concerns you have, nor has a review of the Auditor M in HiFi+. The only time I can remember when magazine reviews were less enthusiastic for a newer version of a speaker was the Audio Physic Virgo III - which is more precise than the Virgo II and many people think it lost the magic.
Let us know when you have the org Cremona in your home!
