1. I wonder SF cremona auditor can get along with Pathos classicone or not (I cannot afford Logos at this time) My budget for integrated amp is 2,000-2,500$. Please recommend me the proper integrated amp at my budget.
2. Is there any speaker that can compare with SF cremona auditor

My favorite musics are Jazz (Trio), classical music. I am not interested in vocal music. My room size is 4m x 4m

I do not have much experience, please please feel free to suggest me....
Thank you very much
The Cremona Auditor is a very refined speaker that comes across as a bit lean at least in comparison to the old Concerto Home, based on that premise here are a few suggestions. On amplifier side, compare the Classic One to the Copland Hybrid, the Copland is slightly warmer (downside is it makes less dramatic transients) than the Pathos Classic One, on the speaker side look at the new JMLabs Be models, electra and Utopia models (not heard the Profiles) as they come across as slightly warmer than the Cremona Auditors, then again your musical preferences might mean that you love the Cremona Auditor/Classic One combo.
