Wilson Sophia 2 or Sonus Faber Amati Homage

HELP!!! I've heard the Sophia and liked them a lot and only been able to listen to Cremonas - can't find an Amati anywhere near the NorthWest. I did enjoy the warmth and emotion of the Cremona and am hoping the Amati converys a little more full range depth and breath?
I'm also starting afresh with electronics and thinking either tube mono-blocks or Musical Fidelity NuVista/A1008 or similar SS?

I had B&W N802's but couldn't live with the overly bright, glaring hardness. Hence looking for something on the warmer side of neutral.

I have a medium/large room that's on the brighter side to deal with too. Solid slab/wood floor, floor-ceiling windows on two sides and 12ft ceilings.

A full range of music tastes from clasical and jazz to acoustic and rock.
Thanks for any guidance.

I heard the Sofias at Definitve and Magnolia had 'just' sold their Amati's and as it's been replaced by the Futura which they dont have and dont even know if they're getting I haven't been able to hear yet.

I'm leaning towards the Amati Homage and worst case figure I can always go back to the Sophia as it seems much easier to find those and I think the Amati's hold heir value?

I'm leaning towards LSA amplification after some good feedback but have heard GREAT things about the new Peachtree Grand Integrated?
