I recently purchased them from a wonderful couple who had used it only for 4-5 times!

They deserve to be called brand new by their cosmetic condition. There’s not one scratch that I can see, even when I look closely.

Asking $5275

Pick up only from 33326 (Weston, FL). No shipping or meeting halfway.

Cash or Zelle only (Zelle is preferred)
No PayPal (not even F&F payment)

It has the original protective covers. The grills/strings are all intact and like new. The drivers are all in perfect/like new condition. I don’t have the boxes but even I did, I wouldn’t ship them anyway. They are 75lbs each!

Come and listen. They sound wonderful. Please bring someone with you as my back is bad. You don’t want me to help you lifting these with my bad back:) Also you should have big enough car. Standard SUV would be the best, say BMW 3 sedan or bigger should work too. Don’t forget to bring your moving blankets.

Although my intention of purchase was to use them for many years, I found a good deal on a different speaker that I had been looking for a long time but first I need to sell these to buy them. If I can’t get the price I want, I will just keep them.

To me this original Cremonas sound better than the M version which sounds cold to my ears. The M doesn’t have that romantic Sonus Faber house sound IMO. You can listen to these speakers without fatigue for 24 hours! AND most importantly they have 99% Wife Acceptance Factor :)

Here are the famous Stereophile reviews.

https://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/304sonus/index.html

"The Sonus Faber Cremona is the finest cabinet-built speaker I have heard for under $10,000/pair," wrote the usually reticent Sam Tellig in the January 2003 Stereophile. "Bravissimo...Molto, molto bene" he added to his paean of praise for the Italian speaker manufacturer's founder and chief engineer, Franco Serblin.

They were $7500 new at the time but today they would be approximately $12K new.

My asking price includes Monster M Series speaker cables. If you don’t want the cables, I will knockdown of $100 from my asking price.

Let me know if you have any questions.
