Please save me from an expensive mistake! Sonus Faber Amati Futura longevity concerns...

@donquichotte 

 Down the road, this might require replacing the ferrofluid in the tweeters, replacing the rubber surround of the midrange drivers

You should be able to order replacement parts direct. If they ever run out, you could replace them with the newer models assuming the specs are similar. Hopefully it’s a straight fit or minor work.

Personally, I spent my money on getting the right speaker first, subs, then cheap out on the gear until I can get upgraded gear. It saved a lot of money and time experimenting, buying and selling gear at losses.

btw the previous gen Amati sounded beautiful. a little thin on bass but musical elsewhere.

My concerns would be (1,2&3); are these really the speakers that will "elevate" my "listening experience", in my room, with the electronic front end I have running them (especially the power amp). As a listener, do you understand the characteristics of the speakers, and do these characteristics fit with your listening wants, needs and desires? Enjoy! MrD.

If you're truly "worried sick" you'd better listen to your gut, and make a decision you can be comfortable with. If you're "worried sick" before the purchase, that should tell you something that other folks' opinions won't assuage.

If you are "getting married" to these speakers, congratulations!

Please consider that you may be simply in the 'Honeymoon Phase', and upgrading speakers is usually a long-term partnership.  

I mention this because many of us focus on ONE item, in this case speakers, then later realize they desperately want new cables, or DAC, or Pre-Amp, etc. to make those speakers sing. 

If you can afford to improve your SYSTEM to accommodate the SQ improvement that the speakers provide, I say go-for-it. 

If on the other hand, you are a bit strapped after the honeymoon is over, you may have some long-term regrets because the money is gone and your speakers are not sounding their best.  

Just my 2 cents.

footnote:  from the 2012 review by John Atkinson...

"When I played the half-step–spaced toneburst track on Editor's Choice, the tonebursts spoke very cleanly down to this track's 32Hz limit. Repeating the track while I listened to the cabinet walls with a stethoscope revealed almost no spurious resonances other than a slightly live nature between 200 and 300Hz. The 1/3-octave warble-tone tracks on Editor's Choice sounded quite even from 300 to 63Hz, a little lower in level at 50 and 40Hz, and returned to full level at 32Hz, which is close to the lowest-frequency resonance in my room. The 25Hz warble tone was still audible, but the 20Hz tone was not. There was also no chuffing noise audible from the ports."

If low-end information is important to your, you may want to consider room treatments (now) and sub-woofers (someday) as well...
