Hi PCWork,

Based on ur good/close relationship with can p.m. roughly how much will SF Toy Tower cost? TQ.
*
lol.
sorry. you have to ask the price you self.
i don't intended to buy, hence i don't ask the price.
more over, i can't simply leak the price they offer me over the internet, and this is one of the reason i have good /close relationship with them.
if you need to ask youself , i can pm you the contact of the person in charge. u can ask yourself.

there isn't much good amps out there that can really power the GPs

listening to a few.....the one that i really like is AR.......

the 100watts per channel cannot be under estimated
the bass is so well controlled and the highs.....oh my....if the GPs could hv came with Scanspeaks instead of vifa....i think i'm oredi beyond heaven

habis...

Your system is already at a high level. Anything more, there's diminishing returns. I'm sure you've auditioned many high end systems where you felt that your own system performed better, but out of courtesy, told the owner "Wow.. fantastic  brows.gif  sweat.gif "

I just added a dCS DAC. Heavenly wub.gif

I have no temptation at the moment. Satisfied  thumbup.gif

lol poisonous snakes. How would you describe the difference and improvement in sound? Ever considered the YTER?
*
i oso quite curious with yter, the small and thin Ag-Pd cable yet giving unbelievable thick of sound.
sonus palladio series all using Yter as internal cable.
and if not mistaken, the technology were developed when they wanna look for better conductor for internal cable of Amati anniverserio and stradivari hommage. (i am not too sure, but i read it some where in taiwan hifi magazine)

Ya, you're right. It was created when Franco Serblin was researching for better conductors for the internal cable of the Stradivari. After that, Sonus Faber might have implemented it into the Amati Anniversarios. But it will definitely match Sonus Fabers, since it was created by Franco wink.gif

Eh.. PcWork, when are you going to share your review of the Amati Futura sound! You're one of the very privileged few in Malaysia to have heard it! Sharing is caring  icon_rolleyes.gif
*
haha
me not qualify lah.
even play a cremona to me already i super impressed already...
anyway i could just share some of my though after have a chance to hear the sound of futura...


previously i had some shifting of my personal preference toward wilson audio shasha.
but until i hear futura. imho. futura really pawned shasha in every aspect.
don't be fooled by the size. it is really small. as big as a cremona only. and it is really quite small compared to amati anniverserio (perhaps they utilize stainless steel top and bottom panel, as well as back bone and no longer require excessive thickness to provide the rigidity if compared to wood)

but the solidness of the sound is yet one of the VERY best i ever heard from all sonus faber i ever listened.
bass punch.. is unforgettable...
it's super fast. and bass texture is seriously best among sonus and imho better than shasha ( i didn't get a chance to hear fenice though. that speaker were ship directly to the owner house and never stop to the show room).

and i am seriously surprised with the DOME tweeter, i though it will be the bottle neck of the sound since previous amati using ring radiator tweeter which were superior in disperse of sound....
but on futura.. the high is indeed WIDER than amati anniverserio.
and not to forget, that the futura is BRAND NEW, 0 hours run in, and just taken out from the box..
the high is seriously refine without even slightest harshness in the sound across the whole spectrum...
and the amp used that day were just a small bodies Linn Klimax

on the look. i admit i really like amati anniverserio., it is so elegant, and so high class built on the wood.
on the other hand i not really like the blending of stainless steel + Wood in futura.. it's kinda.. not as classic to me...
however i have to admit, the sound of futura is very very obviously one big step above anniverserio..

imho it's well worth the price tag of extra RM 40K from amati anniverserio. and i can understand why the fella grab it on the spot..

Good review. Thanks for sharing.  thumbup.gif Haven't listened to the Sasha, but the Amati Futura is 30% more costly, so it's at a slightly higher price bracket. But great impressions nonetheless - of a speaker that's not even broken in.

A lot of people seem to like the new design - looking at reviews and forums. After a while, I start to feel that it's a bit Star Trek'ish. It'll definitely look odd if your home isn't as ultra modern looking as the speakers. Like you, I prefer the look of the Amati Anniversario. All the stainless steel just doesn't really do it for me. Maybe I'll grow to like it in the future.

Wow, it's RM40k higher than the Anniversario? So they're selling it for the same price as the Stradivari?
*
I amnot sure about the price. U have to reconfirm with them
I simPly ask and the price give is a rough estimation. i am waitting to see either stradivari futura and guarneri futura will come out or not. Hehehe

it's tilting up ward because of the marble piece underneath.
but u pay attention on the wood part with string.
front shall be wider than the back.
following the shape of the speaker.
comparing to the photo showing above.


the stand comes saperately, wood, marble, upper panel which connect to speaker and the string component., and it is screwed in by distributor to be a complete stand. =P
