Twoleftears, I own a pair of FS Ktemas. I purchased them while living in Italy. These speakers will be buried with me. I have had them for 5 years now.
I used to own Cremona Ms s/p Franco leaving the company and they sucked. SF after FS is garbage. I have history with both pre and post FS SF. I can honestly say with out a doubt SF is only a fraction what they once were. Now, SF is not a bad speaker now. They are just different and can’t be compared to the old.
I have heard Accordos and Ligneas on many occasions with multiple different combinations of electronics. More than happy to comment more if desired.
