Sonus Faber Aida (I) vs IL Cremonese?


Sonus Faber Aida (I) or IL Cremonese?

Amps are McIntosh MC1.2KW for front channel speakers. 

Would be integrated in home theater (70/30 2 channel:home theater ratio) set up with S.F. Vox as Center channel and dual ML Dynamo 1000s as subs. B&W cwm7.3 in walls to left and right and B&W ccm683 in ceiling. 

I listen to pretty much everything. Vinyl, CD, and stream on Apple Music with Cambridge Audio CXN V2 (waiting for Qobuz to add more to library).

The Aida is my favorite point source loudspeaker. Not only does it sound wonderful but it is beautiful to behold. If I were not an ESL junky it would certainly be the speaker I would go with. The Macs will drive them fine. For the best sound with music I would turn all that other stuff off. The Aida is one of the very few loudspeakers that added subs might be more of a detraction than benefit. All that other stuff will damage their beautiful imaging. Turn it on for theater only.
