sonus faber GH with Sub vs Amat Homage

Smaj, I too basically agree with Elviukai and 4musica. I doubt that the Amati's would work well in that size room. The GH's are far easier to integrate into your room and will respond well to a sub. You may want to look into bass trapping and possibly a Rel or JL sub if budget allows.

Smaj, Thanks for the compliment..:0)

BTW, Elviukai, I do not think that my GH's are at all lacking in instrument palp or localization in the mids... even in comparison to the Amati's. When I have heard the Amati's in the past, my impression was that the only area that they had it over the GH's was possibly in their ability to drop down deeper in the bass; in all other areas I preferred the GH's. If you heard any kind of darkness with any of the SF's then I would suspect that could be laid at the feet of the upstream gear and/or a room interaction.
The GH's in particular are known for there midrange abilities and IMHO, if set up right simply disappear in the room. I do think that like many speakers, set up is fairly crucial with the GH's; a listener should not mistake a poor setup/room interaction as a speaker problem.
