Sonus Faber Amati, who knows it?

i heard the amatis last weekend . i was not familer with what was running them, i think a sonus amp. i think it is a great speaker with first rate fit and finish. i would use tubes with any speaker personaly, but this speaker is laid back enough to get by with ss. overall i thought they belonged on the top of the list of speakers in their price range. 22k ? i would not pay that for them . i would rather have jm lab utopias as well. i think the mezzo utopias would give them a hard time and you can buy them a lot less.

Without a doubt the most beautifully finished speaker.As for the sound,I can a name a number of speakers in this price range that surpass them sonicaly.Again,speakers are one of the most subjective pieces in audio.Let your ears be the judge.

Dopogue, welcome to the Mark Levinson "sound". Almost all the speakers I have heard on Levinson tend to sound boring and uninvolving. The first time I heard Amatis it was with Spectral electronics and I wasn't impressed with the sound at all but with the right front end (especially vinyl) and amplification, they can really shine.
