Sonus Faber Extremas with Sub or Amati Homages

Hi, I have a chance to get the Sonus Faber Extremas with either a Rel Stentor Sub or the Talon Roc sub. Or I can get the Sonus Faber Amati Homages. I wish I could A/B the speakers. I really like both speakers. I heard the Extremas with the Talon Roc sub.

Twilo,

I used to own Extrema and now own the Amati. I still miss the Extrema though and wish I didn't sell them. I wasn't aware the Skanning in Extrema was carbon fiber PP, does that also apply to the Guarneri? Guarneri has been in production for a long long time, wonder if they change the driver over the years. I do know Sonus Faber make it easier to drive, probably due to the driver change?

As for Extrema being more transparent than Amati, I don't quite agree. They sound different, I will be happy to live with either speakers.

Thanks for the info, Twilo. I absolutely love the Extrema's midbase as well, but I also find Scanspeak carbon doped paper cone to have wonderful sound with a naturalness that's not often found on PP cone.
