SF Amati vs Serafino


I moved into a new house and it has a room that is 19’x17’ with a sloped ceiling going from 7’ to 14’.  I am going to use this space as a dedicated listening room and media room.  I currently have the SF Guarneri Traditions with a pair of Rel S812 subs, but am thinking of upgrading to either the Amati or the Serafino Tradtion.  I have the Vox center channel so it really comes down to these two (plus my wife loves the looks).  Is the Amati too much for this room?  I am going to treat the room but it is a closed off room with a single door and wonder if the Serafino might be a better match for the space.  

Thanks,

Given the slope of the ceiling, I suspect that the answer will depend on the orientation of the speakers and listening position. A local dealer might be able to help, otherwise contact Sonus North America directly, they have a national sales rep located in NYC.

I am not an expert, but would suspect that placing the speakers where the ceiling is 7 ft and letting the sound expand to the 14 ’ would be best with least reflections.

As to sound, I have the Amati Traditions and have heard the Serafino at the local dealer. Given the choice, get the Amati’s. The soundstage, the articulation, the timbre, etc is considerably better.

Contact me privately if you want names of dealers or Sonus NA
