Why would you want warm rich lush speakers? Is your system extremely sterile sounding? I've always found neutral sounding equipment a better foundation to build on.
Harbeth SHL5's or used M-40.1's. They fit your description to a T. I owned the M-40.1's for several years, and still miss the warm, romantic, full bodied, organic sound they produced.
Samzx12, How long has your friend had the Cremonas? Perhaps they are not broken in yet. I have had my Electa Amators for about twenty years. Warm...rich...lush, that's my speakers.
