Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

I walked your way and

now I have a pair of Amatis at home. As you said, they are different speakers, they share some sweetness and emotional involvement on the presentation, but the Amatis are closer to the real thing, they can reproduce music moving the air around you with more of the energy present in the real event than the Cremonas do. Amatis can deliver an unbelieveable soundstage by far greater than your room and speakers defined area, but you have to work a lot with placement and that's not easy with a pair of 75Kg/box speaker. Be aware, they need tons of time to break-in they sound very nice right out-of-the-box, but you'll miss some highs extension and tighter bass, wait hours, about 400 to get close to what will be the final sound, but at 200 the extended highs and deep-tight bass will be there.
Said that, I think that the Cremonas are also excellent speakers worth their price, for my taste better than many of more expensive ones out there, with less bass energy (but you need to play organ works or huge symphonic works with many double basses) than the Amatis but a wonderful tonal balance, I loved their delicacy on violins and in general all string instruments, also voices.

I think that you'll enjoy very much with any of them, great speakers :-))
