Sonus Faber Cremona I need input on this

Never heard them, but they are one of the most beautiful pair of speakers these eyes have come upon. Gorgeous piece of workmanship. They weren't hooked up so I have no clue about the sound. I would think long and hard about spending $10k on any speaker that you haven't auditioned. You have oodles of possibilites, at that price, of killer sounding speakers. If looks help you with the sound, you're way ahead with the Cremona.

I extensively auditioned the Cremona and found it to be warm, smooth and pretty dynamic. They have a very spacious sound when positioned well out into the room. Bass response is impressively deep, but not as tuneful as I would have liked. My major problem with this speaker is that it does not produce piano in a believeable way--I don't know if there is a crossover issue or what but it really did not produce this instrument with a very high level of realism. Pretty to look at and relatively good sounding I ultimately decided the Cremona was not worth the money. At 8+K there are more musical choices like the Proac D38. Hope this helps.

I really suggest you go hear the speaker. DO not buy without hearing it. It is a nice speaker. I really enjoyed listing to it.

I owned these speakers for about a year and a half and enjoyed them tremendously. They are not the most neutral and are certainly not the most transparent in sound however they are quite musical and enjoyable. The wife liked them as well because of their looks. They were easy to sell on the used market so if you do buy them and them move on to something later, it should not be difficult to find a buyer. Good luck!
