Sonus Faber Maxima Amator without the fancy


Aesthetics?  Love the sound but want to see if there’s something just like it without the fancy leather, marble stand and walnut casings.  I’m really new to this and shopping for speakers for my 11x22 space at home.  Tried these out in a store and they’re amazing but don’t care about t he fancy design.  Would love some advice!  Want to make it sound like the band is basically in my room, would love some pointers

other possibilities

Magnepan 3.7i with subwoofers could fit the bill

used  Revel Ultima Salon

They have to be against the wall if they’re facing the short side of the house.  I can pull them about 3 feet away if they’re facing the long side but then they’ll have to be 9 or 10 feet apart from each other so maybe that works, have to rearrange the space.  
does anyone recommend an amp to get the most out of them?  The Moon 371 is $6,500, not sure if that’s more than necessary.  Thanks for all the advice, I greatly appreciate it.  

Hey now!

Is the $15k for just the speakers or the whole set up?

What are your music sources now?  I am no longer listening to my old Dead cassettes or DATs. Everything is now ripped to FLAC.  Do you have a home music/media server?

I really enjoy the Dead and jazz on my Revel F208 but this are out of production now. 

 

You can get the Revel F228Be for $3k each.

Then add a good subwoofer for maybe $3k.

Then get a good integrate amp with a network streamer or all in one streaming amp with the remaining budget.

The Tektons start to get happening at 5k and above starting with the Moab (not some mini lore) and shall give Faber a asswhooping.

But, are the Faber sales dwindling a bit, i womder? Some entities appear to be working the forums hard these days...In another thread recently,  it became the best speaker for 'rock n roll' somehow (cough cough). It is about to become the best speaker for jazz, reggae, blues and everything soon. The Italian stallions are on a roll man.

Try Tekton , same sound , but simple Cabinet , good price $ 700
