Who has listened to Sonus Faber "Cremona Auditor"


I heard these fine speakers today and wanted to know who out there has heard the Auditor? They sounded great to me but that was only for a 10 minute listen. Anyone else hear these and like them? What equipment was used with them?

There are lots of Auditor owners out there, but they are just ignoring you.

I own several pairs of SF speakers, Auditor is one of my favorite. Compare to EA1, it's more neutral on top and mid, but can't compete with bass in weight. I still like EA1 for string music, I have been brain washed by Dynaudio Esotar for way too long I find anything else not as seductive.

Image wise, it's one of the best on earth with huge soundstage width and depth. But I will warn you in advance you need to drive them with lots of power if you plan to use them in large room. In my 14x18 room, my BAT VK-75SE does run out of steam on 4 ohm tab. Adding a sub will definitely help here.

Also, if you don't use OEM stands, do tilt them back as much as you could to tame the slightly aggressive top end.
