What's a good alternative to SF amati g5?


There must be a good substitute for this really good speaker.  I don't wanna pay the additional cost related to tariffs, it was expensive enough.

Used Amati. A generation older but spectacular sounding- for ears that like SF.

Used prices are always  negotiable too.

Different model, but very nice, and close to the $40K

Stradivari. Winner for the price.

Always love visiting your system in our virtual world.  Took a look at your office system and I'm curious to know why there are three screens on your desk and what appears to be a fairly elaborate Desktop computer on the floor.  Curious what you do here, fascinating.

Actually I'm still looking for an upgrade to my current 802 d3s, comforting to hear that you like the traditional amati.  I don't think the ill cremonese makes sense with that very weird subwoofer at the bottom of the speaker.  If I go to another set of speakers I think I may entertain a used Lilium even though my room size might limit their full potential and the bass may be overwhelming and not appropriate.

It's tough upgrading from the 802 D3, not sure the 801 D4 makes sense.
