New Sonus Faber Electa Amator 3...anybody heard these yet?

Celebrating Sonus Faber’s thirty five years in business, they have just released the new SF Electa Amator 3! This little stand mount looks like it has some very good basics for a smaller room and system. 
As usual lots of attention to the speakers aesthetic and it looks like to the driver selection as well.
Anybody have a chance to hear these little gems? Could they be the perfect small room speaker system, thoughts?

I saw a picture today of the Sonus Faber Electa Amator 3 in the Absolute Sound. Good looking speaker, similar to EA 2. The stands had a round pedestal look that are not nearly as attractive as my walnut and marble stands.

 @tonykay  Completely agree.

i have AB’ed my SFGH’s against a number of different stand mounts, from Magico’s to Dynaudios to TAD’s and more....none have come out superior to the GH’s. If you have the upstream gear to work with them, I don’t think there has ever been a better stand mount ...and frankly even very few floor mount speakers that can stand with them!

@daveyf  I know you have the original Guarneri Homage I haven’t listened to them for over 15 years; if you get hear the new EA3 I’d be interested to hear how they compare to yours, which I still think we’re one of the best speakers made.

 @dsholl1  I will be very interested to hear the new EA3’s. If they can hold candle to my GH’s, I would be surprised, but that would be a great thing...as the GH’s won’t last forever. I will report back if and when I get a chance to hear the EA3’s.

Thanks. I’m very close to actually buying a pair. They do have a bit of that old SF magic.

BTW you do truly have one of the best speakers ever made!
