Several used sonos faber il cremonese for sale. why?


I've noticed lately that many used il cremones speakers by sonus faber are for sale lately.  And the price after being only 2 to 3 years old goes from a list of 55,000 all the way down to 25 to 30,000.  And they seem to be on sale for quite a while, and from dealers too.  I thought these were very nice speakers and don't understand why they're at such a discount and why many seem to be on sale these days.  I know the Amati g5 Sonos is supposed to be very good.  People aren't selling to buy the lower level g5 speaker.

I also know, and as openly acknowledged by sonos, the speakers are a lot more expensive because of all the design work to make them pretty. With these low used prices why would anyone pay 55,000 even if it's discounted by 10% or so? I know it's an older design speaker that hasn't been updated for a while but that may not be a problem.

Any thoughts about this as I was kind of interested in il cremonese. What's a good alternative speaker?

Depreciation on used audio gear is worse than cars. Since there isn’t much competition for used gear, most buyers are in the market are trying to get it for as cheap as they can on these websites. It is better to trade in for new equipment unless you are getting out of audio altogether.

 

Try EgglestonWorks speakers as an alternative.

Look emergingsoul  is NEVER going to buy 50k+ speakers. He will use his all to bright B&W's with his Mac amp and never be happy. Everyone else will be enjoying their setups.
