sonus faber GH with Sub vs Amat Homage

in 2x4 meter? dont even think about amati. its more likely you room have main resonant mode at high 60hz where amati output is very strong. that mean very boomy sound. hook up sub and mate them at 40hz or so. take your time to find optimal placement / integration(its very important in your room) but general dont use higher than 40/50hz crossing(sub should start roll of from 40hz at about 12/18db/oct.

also dont listen to anyone who says that small room can not reproduce low frequencies. they surely can. the same is for small speakers. I have measured bunch of 3 or even 4 ways which goes down to 50hz, and some 2 way floorstanders which go to 28Hz)

sub wont add any dynamic abilities,or maximum spl level, but it will add majesty and fullnes of music "breath" when properly integrated.

go with sub, take your time to adjust and enjoy.

Smaj, its dificult to advice without knowing what you are seeking. 97% of monitors avalable will not provide large dynamic swings to reproduce large orchestra without compression. ar any similar music. If you mainly listen vocals and small jazz groups monitor is best. I bet Amati wont work in your room neutraly- its already punchy speaker eeven in bigger rooms and need some time to blend seamlesly in bass/mids. personaly I cant live with lifted up midbass(lower bass 25-35hz is much more tolerable even if it in +10db- keep in mind this on GH and sub combo feature) if you can live with it- give a try. I didnt compare GH with Amati directly, is memorry serves me well both are smooth and litle bit dark sounding(thought less than Cremona series at that time) speakers, Amati having better intrument palpability and localiation in midrange area, while GH having more pleasant lushier tonality in male voice and lower strings.
