The SF Amati Futura is actually a couple of generations old now. While it is beautiful, and the prices are appealing, it is closer to the old SF sound and not as articulate or accurate as the current or previous generation Amati Tradition or Serafino. If that’s the sound profile you prefer - great. But, the newer models are more neutral with a bit more pleasant sparkle on top - without being bright.
I likewise always enjoy your posts. Knowing your background - it’s always somewhat amusing when you’re “informed” by some of the other forum participants of how server/streamers can’t possibly make a difference.
I’m in the process of upgrading my cabin system to the Il Cremonese. Yes, they are bigger, but the speakers seem relatively “unfussy” regarding placement (within limits). I know you’re concerned about the configuration, but perhaps talking to Albert Porter who has several pairs available used might help.
Best,
