Sonus Faber Cremona M Center Speaker in Graphite

I'm selling a Sonus Faber Cremona M center speaker in beautiful Graphite. Considered to be one of the best center speakers ever produced. I bought it new at Magnolia and it was recessed into a wall in my home theater room where it received some scratches on the right side of the cabinet, see photos. They have been touched up and are not noticeable from 3 feet away however for the sake of full disclosure I am mentioning them. It is coming from a pet free, kids free, non smoking home. The speaker itself works perfectly and sounds amazing as it should for a $5,000. speaker.

the speaker comes with the string grill also in perfect condition.

I do not have the original box however it will be shipped with the utmost care and protection.

Here is an ad for one that sold for 2500.

Sonus Faber Cremona M Center Channel in Graphite Finish

This speaker is perfect condition and has only been used in my dedicated home theater room. This room remains darkened so finish has had no deterioration from direct sunlight. I also have no kids or pets and do not smoke. Essentially, the condition is as close to factory original as can be reasonably expected. No visible marks, blemishes or any cosmetic issues whatsoever.

If you are reading this ad, then you likely already know how Sonus Faber speakers sing and their reputation for gorgeous sound. Its smooth, sweet, detailed and luscious, with midrange to die for, as one would expect from a hand-made Italian product. If not, Google any of dozens of audiophile publication previews.

I am down-sizing, and that's the only reason for selling.

Shipping will be by FedEx. Speakers come with their manual, cloth bags, as well as all original factory shipping boxes.

Please check my positive eBay & Audiogon feedback and buy with confidence!
