Any info on new Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario?

My friend from Italy had last week oportunity to audition new Amati Anniversario in his home and to compare it to his Amati Hommage. His findings: Amati Anniversario is different and better sounding speaker. Tighter bass, midrange to die for, more organic from bottom to top.
Old Amati Hommage was slower sounding, also not so tight or forceful in bass. The Anniversario is more like 95% of Stradivari in different box.
Interesting thing-system was Audio Research VT200Mk2,REF2Mk2,CD3Mk2 but he also had Boulder 1060/1010 combo to try... New Anniversario was for him better sounding with Boulder combo. In bass difference was huge to him, tighter and deeper than with ARC gear. In fact he was as tube lover very confused since he liked sound of Anniversario more with Boulder.
I hope this will help. For me Anniversario is on top of my list!

Branimir and for me !

I have heard them 2 weeks ago on The HiFi Show in London. They indeed do sound very similar to the more expensive Stradivaris and unlike almost all previous models (they are faster and much more transparent).

I will order Anniversario in few days. More when they arrive at my home( app. 1 month ).
Also, I heard from my Sonus Faber dealer that NEW GUARNERI MEMENTO will be introduced at CES2006 ( in Europe maybe even before new year ). Cabinet size more or less same size. Completly new drivers and crossover. It will be little bit more expensive than old Guarneri Hommage.
So, we will have all new Guarneri after more than a decade. Good news for all Sonus Faber fans out there!

I read in a Taiwan audio publication or web site a major designer in Scanspeak left the company to form his own speaker company which will in effect compete with Sonus Faber. As a result, Franco got upset and switched out as many Scanspeak drivers as possible. Check out his new Domus line, no Scanspeak except tweeter which is sourced from Vifa.

I am not thrilled about the new Anniversario styling especially the rear ports. Original Amati Homage is classy and elegant, Cremona is stylish targeted for younger audience, but Amati Anniversario seems like a bad blend of the two. Maybe I will change my mind when I see the real thing.
