Alma, I've not heard the Amati Homage or the new Anniversario, but I have auditioned the Stradivari. In your post of September 30, you mention that you briefly listened to the Stradivari and state "not comparable to Anniversario, IMHO." I can only assume that meant you didn't like it as much, or perhaps not at all. As I have been considering the Stradivari for possible purchase, your observations would be of interest to me. Could you elaborate a little more about the comparison between Stradivari and Anniversario or Amati Homage?
Any info on new Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario?
Just learned about the new offering, it's in Sonus Faber manufacture web site but not in Sumiko web site yet.
New Amati uses Ring Radiator tweeter, but not sure if it is the Vifa or Scanspeak version. Rumor has it both midrange and woofers are now sourced from SEAS. Completely different drivers from top to bottom basically makes them a different speaker, sound is expected to be quite different from original version for sure.
Interesting Sonus Faber kept Guarneri Homage intact for 10+ years without any major update.
Anyone has more info or first hand experience with the new Amati Anniversario? Does that mean time to upgrade for me?
