The Sonus Faber Maxima Amator...worth a look.

Sonus Faber are on a roll! After debuting the Sonus Faber Electa Amator 3, they have now come out with a new speaker, the Maxima Amator. A small floor standing model, with the usual amazing cabinetry and what looks to be a two way. I have not heard this speaker, but it sure looks amazing, and if looks are anything like what it sounds...I am interested. Anyone have a chance to hear the new SF?

There is a preview here:

The Maxima Amator has the same drivers as the EA3 but a new cross over design and "significantly more cabinet volume to play deeper and tighter than its stand-mounted sibling".
Looking forward to the full review at SoundStage on Jan 15th.

Lots of interesting quotes from Livio Cucuzza, SF’s chief design officer in the mini-review.  Sounds like they had time on their hands with COVID and wanted to try to perfect a two driver speaker:  Cucuzza said “I have always been a fan of pure two-way designs, finding them more intimate and magical with some musical programs, of course accepting the limits they have.”
