Sonus Faber EA II being replaced?

My brother owns an EA1 and its superb looking and sound just as good as it looks, but I dont think the Cremona Auditor is far from its fit and finish, I think it looks richer much richer (sleek) ,exotic and for those of you who have not seen it clearly, Here take a look! Click on the image please:

Don't hold your breath, the SF Cremona was one of the biggest letdowns I've heard from Sonus and this will be just a mini monitor version of that.

THANK GOD!!! The original EA's where much MUCH better speakers! The EAII's were a DECIDED step down in sound quality! Even the $3500 GRand Piano's from SF were better!..by a lot!!
I only hope SF will replace the OVERPRICED, UNDERQUALITIED EAII with something more befitting the SF reputation.
Other than that, it's all good...

I just purchased a new/demo pair (and am pleased), and yes, I was told that the new Cremona Auditor is in essence a replacement for the EA II's. From what I was told, the auditor, at least from "looks" standpoint, doesn't have quite the fit and finish of the EA II's. If you like the EA II's, I'd highly recommend nabbing a pair!
