Does the original Sonus Faber Amati Homage Rock?

I need some advice , I have a chance to buy a set of SF Amati Homage speakers from a store in MICHIGAN for 12k shipped the speakers look fantastic near mint!.  My concern is  all that I have read says that there bass shy , last fall I bought a set of Daedalus Audio Ulysses speakers version two used I over paid don't think the Ulysses speakers came close to my long-term Tyler Acoustic linbrook signature floor standers,  I ended up losing almost 2k on that deal I play mostly Rock music and some Jazz anyone still own these speakers and will they play Rock music well   like Pearl Jam, Alice in chains, the Beatles ect. Any suggestions for me also am I over paying if I buy, thanks for any Help

Well these were 20k when new and are going on 20 years old. I would say that yeah 12k is absolutely too much for them. If looking for speakers good with rock Sonus Faber would be way down my list.  
Check out hifishark and type in any speaker you are looking at. Even if they dont have any for sale you can pick to show older listings and what they were asking. Sonus Amati Homage seems to have a median asking price of around 7k.

If you haven't paid yet you can still negotiate cost. Just a thought.
