Congratulations. I found once I purchased Sonic Fabre speakers… there was no going anywhere else. I have owned Cremona, Olympica 3, and now Amati. Each step up is simply amazing.
I think the Futura fit your room size better. But, you should be really happy with either. This may give you some funds to upgrade your electronics. The ship SF by ship. My dealer was able to reserve ones that were still on a ship… I actually got the last set of Amati violin red… this was a couple years ago.
I would be interested in hearing why your dealer discouraged the Futura. There has been a small change in tonal balance in the last few years… but I am surprised that would be a reason.
