Given that the Amati Anniversarios are $30K/pair and the upcoming Amati Futuros are $36K, aren't the $17K Sophias at a disadvantage here? Even the Sasha W/Ps at $27K cost less than either SF model, and they fill a bigger room and go lower than the Sophias.
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.
