Sonus faber - Amati suprema?


Anybody heard this very expensive speaker? Is it that much better than the Amati G5?

Red finish seems different from the Amati G5. Is that true?

I can't stand the Sonos website it's bizarre trying to find stuff and see stuff.

@emergingsoul , i can't say 100% yet that the red wood finish is same or different, but it really looks the same as my current G5 in red wood finish, and on the SF site.. will see. And YES.. LOL! the friggin SF website is a bit tough to sort through! 

so the wood finish is different but beautiful.. there is no black leather on the front like on the G5, the sides and front are the same color (can't figure out how to include photos here), and the wood grain is at an angle now, not horizontal with the lines every 5 inches or so up the sides. 

scroll down and can see the wood finishes https://www.sonusfaber.com/en/products/amati-supreme

I like the wenge wood color.

The Sonus website sucks. It's the most awful awful site to navigate I've ever seen in my entire life.  They need to understand they should not put restrictions in front of people who might give them money.  Make it as easy as possible. Lots of companies have this problem.

Sonus Faber are better looking than their performance. That doesn’t mean they suck sonically but aesthetically speaking they are in a different league than their Sonics. Sonically they draw you in at first but overtime like McIntosh you are always looking for more. More of a mid-fi brand than a serious ultra high end contender.
