S.F. Cremona vs Wilson Benesch Curves


Has anyone ever compared these 2 speakers. They are in the same price catagory, so I think its a fair question.
I can not audition these without a long drive. Any thoughts would be of help. I don't have an amp yet, I am thinking 845 set or a p/p tube of some kind.
Thanks

Well boys, I went on my speaker evaluation trip, a smooth 1200 miles of deliteful winter driving. MY impressions, the Wilson Benesch are the ones to own. The S.F. Cremona are a nice speaker. Absolutely beautiful built quality, muscial and very authoritative almost demanding one's attention. Alas they are too forward for me, I heard them on good Macintosh gear. Do not 'read' bright, just forward. The highs were totally grain free and very extended, but just too much for me. The WB's where the most musical, smooth, listenable, just totally involving speakers I heard on my trip. I would have to say they are one of the most under publized speakers out there and they deserve more attention. It's hard to attach "value" on high priced speakers, but the technolgy in the WB is first class and they have the sound to go with it.
Thanks for all the help, I glad I went on my trip...I will be a WB owner soon.
Thanks
Mike
