Sonus Faber Amati compared to Amati Anniversario

Hi Richard,

Yes I did listen to the Elipsa and did not like them. The Amati Anniversario sounded much better. I am also thinking on the Strad's over the Amati. It is my second system for my computer room to play games and listen to music when on the computer. I heard the Strad with a friend that was interested, but never heard of Sonus Faber till about 2 weeks ago. I didn’t pay too much attention and was walking around the store. I went back to the store after reading reviews on them and additions the Cremano M, Elispsa and the Amati. I was interested in the Amati because I owned three pair or the Amati’s by Cello with the complete cello system. It is one of the best sounding systems I have ever owned, and I have had many. Was blown away with the Amati Anniversario. But I was told that the Amati was totally redesign and the old Amati did not compare to the Amati Anniversario sonically. But by what you told me that was wrong they are better but not a major difference. Are your Strad now that you have lived with them for a while and owned the Amati, do they sound much better to pay the extra money on them. Thanks for your help.
All the best
James

Ebe, I did not like the Elipsa because when I listen to the Amati it sounded some much fuller that I was amazed at the difference. I also heard the Cremona M and was not impressed. I liked all of the Homage line, was disappointed with the Cremona line of Sonus Faber.

Thanks for your feedback. I bought Eggleston Aundra III. After doing research and learning about there warranty and the tweeters I would not be interested in buying them.
