Just got home from the second demo the have now had around 350 hours of musical beating at loude volume.
We tried both with the ear findly primear gear as well as the 50.000 usd marantz setup.
I was even more disapointed then the first time.
This has nothing to do with a musical instrument, or a emotional sound. .
In other words its the opposit of the org cremona.
Its brittel , lean and the mid/top keeps robing my atension with anoying hard sounds.
Honestly after 15 minuts i felt like turining it of and go home.
The diddnet sound horribly but nowhere nere the old cremona .
Im glad i gave it another chance because now i know i have made a very wise move not buying it.
That the magic is franco serblins work and not the brand sonus faber.
I was told that franco serblin did infact more or less design the elipsa, but left soon after , and the new M versions is designed by a completly new team, and it was mighty fast the made the new line.
Im buying a use pair from germany and the will arrive next thursday.
