Nice Tony, still some of the best looking speakers out there……did you get a chance to listen to them before placing your order???? Curious how they compare to what you have. I would imagine even if the sound is similar, you’d get a much large sense of scale and dynamics.

Thanks Buck. I haven't heard the Il Cremonese, but have spent some time with the Lilium, the next model up, and sound characteristics are supposed to be similar. Still it's a bit of a gamble, but I have an arrangement with my dealer that he takes them back if I don't love them. Versus my Amati Futuras, I'd say the Liliums had greater scale, wider soundstage, better defined bass, and leaned a little more toward neutral rather than warm.

Tony, absolute congrats! I'm sure the "gamble" will pay off and you will be richly rewarded.
I wish you many years of enjoyment with your new speakers.

Best

Charles

Absosute congrates Tony. I love the gamble but hate the wait time which appears to be the new norm. Kudos to your dealer for making it a basic no risk deal.

Speakers have been in house for 12 days and are breaking in nicely. My dealer took my Amati Futuras in trade and offered a full satisfaction guarantee, but I guess he knows me and my system well enough to know I wouldn't send them back once I heard them in my setup. I'm a happy camper.

Wow! Great pics Tony. The speakers are just gorgeous! Please take a few minutes to describe to us what they sound like, together with your overall thoughts on them.
