Amati owners?

Hi adsal and twinstick! glad to meet you both.
Like twinstick mentioned, I find the Amati very much on the thin side too. I finally had it professionally measured (speakers in room freq response) and found that there is a huge suckout region from 140Hz to 500Hz. HUGE, i mean by 20db! (I can send you the graph). No matter how I move them and locate them, same thing. This pretty much corresponds to the Stereophile review's finding, only much exagerrated in my room.
I had the Guarneri. They are MUCH more musical. It seems like the Amati is a huge departure from the G's audio goal.

adsal,
i too have my fair share of speakers.
i am quite lucky to live in Hong Kong. the amount of equip we can audition within walking distance is quite shocking. yes i have listened to the musica. and no, they did not help the problem i think the amati design suffers. i would love to 'stand by' my decision of chooing the Amati, but they certainly have their problems. I try the Amati with CJ, ARC, Graaf and other tube amps. NO component would add 20db to the 140Hz to 500Hz region.
What is your current system?

tried. prefer TACT.
