Sonus Faber Cremona vs. Cremona M again, I know


I know this has been debated often before here, but I just wanted to ask yet again since it's been a while since it's come up.
I got a pair of original Auditors for my small 2nd system & like them a lot (their delicacy, vocal texture,and a driverless speak-with-1-voice sound to my ears). I'm really surprised how much I like them because so many speakers disappoint me, even some really high priced ones.

So I'm looking into the Cremona floorstanders for my main system, and wanted some insight in which would be better. I listen to popular music (50's-to-present) with vocals, but like a pure non-rock-concert sound, with controlled bass and non-piercing highs. I like something tame but resolved
and "refined" (I hate to use trite terms, but refined is one I make room for.)
So am I better with the original Cremona or the M?
Thanks.

System: Edge NL12.1 amp, Ray Samuels Tubed B52 preamp (Telefunken 12AU7 tubes, with some ECC802s in there),
EMM CDSA-SE with X-upgrade, Stealth Indra ICs, Cardas Golden Ref. speaker cables, various Shunyata Anaconda power cords, Hydra 8.

Sonus Faber speakers sound nice, but nothing like real music. I can understand why you like them...however, audition all others in your price range so you get the biggest smile for your buck.
....disagree Stringbeen....that the The Cremona M's ( or Sonus Faber's in general ) are nothing like ''real music ''...which in itself is a very subjective dangerous statement as I attend at least 5-10 live concerts per year of varied musical approaches. I had Avalon Eclipse's for years and then sold them to buy the speaker that '' sounds just like live music '' the Harbeth 40.1's which lasted about 6 months in my home to buy the Cremona M's ( and listened to the original Cremona's ) as I found the original Cremona's to be a very warm / rich musical speaker.....The M's ''tighten'' up a few areas but add a little more speed and finess to the music - with my cabeling, electronics and size of room make up a very ''complete sound '' ....for me. Either one of the versions of the The Cremona's have a very beautiful sound....but just to say ; '' nothing like real music '' is not an acurate statement - because what does ????? Remember - as I once worked boards - anything that is amplified can be controlled and altered to suit one or everyone's tastes. You even said go out and listen....
I agree with the sentiment here. To generalize, the original Cremona are musical and very easy to listen to, like you Auditors. Cremona M are more "modern" and lean towards a detailed/analytic sound. The original can be finicky about what is driving them; the M less so. Your Edge would mate well with the Cremona, as it does with your Auditors. It is really up to your taste. If you like the original Auditors, you probably want the original Cremona. An audition of the M would probably tell you pretty quickly what you like best. The only thing that would replace our original Cremona is a pair of Strads.
Thank you everyone! Lots of food for thought here.
I also have Harbeth SHL5s here and and the little Auditors just sound much nicer to me, even though there is less bass.
I have directly compared cremona floorstander vs auditor M some time ago. if memory serves me well original version had more rounded sound and more calm, while M have more imediacy and was "faster" and litle bit hotter on top end. definatley better resolution.but still maintaining sonus faber schoold sound- crispy hights, dark, reserved uper midrange , warm upper bass and still very easy to ears when increasing volume.
