Sonus Faber Minima Vintage v/s Cremona Auditor


Fellow Audiogoners

Would appreciate any first hand comparison between the Sonus Faber Minima Vintage and the SF Cremona Auditor speakers for my second system.

I have been offered both speakers (used) at more or less the same price point but am unable to audition them before the purchase.

These will be driven by a Sonus Faber Musica amp (50W into 8 ohms), with an Audio Aero Capitole CD player, in a room sized 9x11 ft and 8 ft high

I like romantic, SWEET but detailed/layered music (mostly jazz, late night, piano, vocals etc.) at low to modest volumes.

Thank You

I have had both speakers and I like the Minima over the Cremona. I use the Minima as my main speakers. I even have a spare pair in the box that I am keeping for the long haul. I love the way they handle piano and vocals. Get the Minimas.
Lall, my room is 19' by 18'. I do not think any small monitor is able to handle the bass needed for orchestral music without the help of a good subwoofer. Maybe in a really small room with a powerful amp. Still like the Minima over the Cremona Auditor. The tweeter on the Minima is much better.
