I liked the way SF Cremona Auditors present music. I like totem sound as well. But SF Cremona Auditors sounded a bit better to my taste. But I have a doubt whether such a small monitor with 6" woofer can fill a 20 x 20 room with music or not. The other options I like are SF Grand Piano Domus (a lot more than I want to pay), Totem Forest and Totem Hawk. Can you please let me know how will cremna auditor perform in a 20 x 20 room. I am thinking of pairing SF (both GP and Cremona Auditor) with cary SLI 80.
If you hear a Zu Method, an REL will sound like it gets moving tomorrow, by comparison.
The REL is pretty good against a generally bad lot of subwoofer designs. It doesn't sound even close to being in the moment with the Auditor's main driver, to me. The Zu is just better in every important respect.
I have audition both the Domus & aremona auditors. To me, cremona auditors are much better sounding. i use them with velodyne DD12 with success. With your room size, you will need a sub if you get the auditors. You may get away with floor standing Cremona. If you definitely don't want a sub, Thiel 2.4 ( in the same price range) sounds great in a large room without sub
In what size room do you use your cremona auditors - velodyne DD12 combo ?
How do you compare Cremona and Cremona Auditors ? I was thinking Cremona will be full range and so will also help in HT. It is this same approach that made me consider GP Domus.
