Original Sonus faber cremona auditor again?

After years devoted to planar speakers and years of listening to live music I realized I needed to change speakers… I was struck by the sound of Sonus Faber. So, as an experiment I bought some used Cremona M… this was twelve years ago. I have been hooked ever since. Within a week I ordered some Olympica 3, then ten years later upgraded to Amati Traditional. 
 

While the Cremona were really warm… they did lack some detail. This all changed with the Olympica and forward. While the fully bloomed midrange and articulated bass was still there in later models, the treble was tuned up… not just greater presence but natural and realistic so cymbals and bells sounded completely brass instead of undifferentiated treble.

Matching Sonus Faber with outstanding tube equipment produces the natural / musical sound I have always wanted. 

Congratulations. Im sure they're fine sounding speakers.

I have a soft spot for the SF pre acquisition.

If I had things my way, These would be in my room

Stradivari Homage-they're floating around the $17-20K range. Just not in my comfort zone.

I would consider getting rid of one pair of my Kappa9 speakers for the Stradaveris....but l would need a listen...as far as Sonus Faber goes...there silk tweeters and paper midranges just have such a great sound, warm,seductive, non irritating.....one guy described most modern speakers as being "hyper real"...l know Sonus Faber delivers because my wife and I have coffee every morning in my 2 channel room....we will talk about the days schedule and she will leave after about half hour...l noticed if my Cremonas are on or my Accordos....she will stay in the room until l turn off the system...That's pretty cool 😎

Serblin was involved in the Stradivari project, so good chance your ears would agree. 

From the 2005  Stereophile review:

"Expensive, exquisitely built, with high-quality drivers and crossover components, and superbly finished with a stylishness of which only the Italians seem capable, Sonus Faber's Stradivari Homage is, in my opinion, the finest loudspeaker Franco Serblin has designed, and the most accomplished his company has built. That was his goal, and he has succeeded."
