Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor M

The speakers themselves are sonically and cosmetically in excellent condition They sound wonderful, image beautifully, and have surprisingly good bass for their size. I've powered them mostly with vintage tube gear but more recently with a combination of a modern tube preamp paired with a fine solid-state amp.

The stands show some marks, most of which could be touched up. None of the marks are visible from a normal listening position. I'd rate the speakers at least 8.5 and the stands around a 7. I sent the grilles to the Sonus Faber factory in Italy to have them restrung and they fit and look like new. I do not have the original boxes so a local sale in the Seattle area is preferable but I'm happy to pack them securely for shipping. Double-boxed, etc. I'm thinking I'd pack using four separate boxes, but possibly fewer. I'll also include a set of 8 discs to protect floors from the stand spikes.

As far as I know, I'm the second owner. The only reason I'm selling is that about 18 months ago, I came upon a rare pair of Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage speakers at a local mom and pop hi-fi shop, and I could not resist buying them.
I have 100% positive feedback here, on USAudiomart,  and eBay. I'm guessing that shipping will be around $150 to the lower 48. I'll pay for boxes and packing material. Price includes PayPal fees but the buyer is responsible for shipping costs.  Serious inquiries only, please.
Thanks for looking.
