They don't look like the Amati Homage at all.A Wilson-Benesch-type curve on the cabinet,and Thiel type front baffle(here it is time-aligned)are what comes to mind.The design is refreshing,with an overall aerodynamic look,with sweeping curves. The bulk of the design work was performed by Dr. Joseph D'Appolito for Usher Audio of Taiwan. That's a company who has been building high-end audio for over 30years.(way before Sonus Faber).I own a pair of AC-10's and they are superb. I was blown-away at C.E.S.(2001) where they premiered.They use world-class Thiel/Ceratec ceramic drivers for midrange/and tweeter.They play fine at all levels,and require a quick(fast)quality solid state amp to drive them adequately.Great soundstaging,highly-articulate,etc. For $8K retail a pair they are a steal and would compare them to anything,including the Amati Homage which sells for nearly triple!These are an original design and bare merit from the Audiophile community if they ever get a chance to audition them.
