New sonus faber Cremona M version

Hi branimir

Thanks for the usefull explanation

regards

Branimir, here is a look at the in-room frequency response as published by Stereophile: http://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/304sonus/index3.html

As you can see, the bass extends down to 25Hz. Also the port tuning frequency is 30 HZ. I do not think anyone is lying here. I think there is either a misprint the new Cremona M's specs, or it is a different speaker with less extended bass.

Pinkus,

New Cremona M is 40Hz-30kHz(anechoic) and old Cremona is rated to 32Hz(in room!).

Also John Atkinson room is pretty bass friendly(nice room gain).

BTW, if you look John Atkinson review of Amati Anniversario you will see that Anniversario do not go any deeper in bass in his room then old Cremona. BUT, in my room(almost 40m2) difference in bass definition, depth and tightness between Anniversario and old Cremona are night and day, belive me!
Elipsa also has better bass to my ears then old Cremona but, it is rated only to 35Hz(anechoic)...

Point is with room gain new Cremona M will go deeper then old one, at least IMHO...

Here is a some more news

I translated the text here it is

In order to celebrate Italy to have a fever speaker brand Sonus Faber to be located the Hong Kong intermediate belt all father to benefit the street 1 901 room exhibition rooms to be open for business, deep and clear ? uncommon president Cesare Bevilacqua especially flies to Hong Kong from Italy to carry on the ribbon cutting ceremony, Cesare this line of another single layers if must recommend two section for the Hong Kong fan to stem from the brand-new design troop brushwork the speaker product, first section named Elipsa, three group three unit designs, the 260mm bass unit inspires the plate material to select the light quality quantity aluminum/magnesium alloy, the crosswise -like development sandwich sound box surface ? on fine selects the maple tree which elects thin to bark.

Another section is take long-term sale Cremona as a foundation, from inside to the outside passes through comprehensive innovation in the Cremona M, M is a Modify word in simple form, the sound box back line appears the little change, is helpful to strengthen the sound proliferation, uses the metal founding the foot rest shape also to pass through slightly modifies, provides the better center of gravity distribution, in addition divides the sound also to make the appropriate readjustment, four unit qualities maintain invariably.


Cesare

if im reading this right the new cremona is truly a better speaker the the old because the have compared the two extensivly.
And that the new cremona is just as good as the elipsa.

one other thing

On sonus fabers own homepage the old cremonas woffers are 2 *18 cm woffers exactly the same as the new cremona.

But on other sides ithe specs for the old cremona are 15 cm woffers.
Why is that ?

Regarding the sizes to the two cremonas is the new one really larger ?

Looking at the specs and drawing the spece for the new is hight 112cm but that is when you tilt it back.

Was the old cremona measured that way also ?

Also i have studid the two cremona on same size pictures and the new one really dont seem bigger when you look at the drivers vs cabinet size.

Enyone that can help me answer thise questians ?
