8 ohm speaker that sounds like sonus faber

The new cremonas i was comparing to. i was looking at a impedence that really doesn t dip that much that works with a 50 to 75 watt tube amp in the 10 to 15 k range.

Check out the Opera line

Thank you to everyone for there input.

You could also look at Verity (Parsifal Encore, in my case) which is a little warmer and less extended than the Cremona, but overall barks up a similar tree. Not quite the same, but in the same neighborhood. The Parsifal Encore isn't a super easy load, but most 70wpc tube amps should work well.

I currently both own Parsifal Encores and Cremonas so my opinion is based on long experience with both speakers in my own home. Doesn't mean you'll agree with my assessment, but -if you like the Cremonas - I suspect that you'd be pretty happy with the choice.
