Best Sonus Faber for 16 sq room. ?

Tda2200 I'm not an expert, but I think Anniversarios need biiger space than 16sq.meters.....I had Cremona at 25 sq.m. and I was surrounded by music. Annis brings the whole orchestra in your house and the orchestra needs some room to deploy. I even guess that Anniversario designed for bigger rooms than 16sq.m.
As I see it your mind and brain already bought Annis (it's so easy when listen and see this speaker) so If you don't get it you spent your time dreaming it so I understand it's difficult for you.
I think Cremona floorstander it's a better match (since you want floorstander) with to much room correction and good driving it might work. And also nomral decibels.

I used to know a guy with previous Amati in a small room like yours, he had the delight of music in low volumes and overdamped room the amp was YBA passion. But not very loud and complex passages, the room couldn't take it.

I think the best is to try it in your listening room, afterall you paying a lot of money for a reference Homage speaker and maybe one of the best ever Sonus Faber speakers (if not the best yet).

Also consider Branimir's views more thorough.

Thanks Kops

I see your point clearly and you are proberly right about me allready have maid up my mind.

Regarding floorstanders vs monitors monitors is out of the questian
My amp simply dossent performe well with monitors
No bass.

I know that if i get the anniversarios the job to make them work proberly will be very complexed.

I almost never listend to loud music only to show of somthimes but 99.9 % of the time i listen at moderate/low levels.

regarding my listning room i have alot of knowledge about roomacoustics .
Because i have had roomcorrection for a long time both the old tact2.2 and the new lyngdorf roomperfect .
I also pay alot of atension to the room when im listning to new gear at a new place.

If there ever was a 16 sq meter room that couldt hause the annies it would be mine .

But maybe The Cremona would be a great start because the can be bourgt cheap and sold later with no loss in value.
And simply see if a floorstander will work in my room.

But if a secondhand pair in graphite anniversario comes up for sale at a good price.

I do think i will take the plunge.

This decribes pretty much why i even think of getting the amatis

The Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario will be happy both in a large and a
small room. The Stradivari, however, requires at least 25 square meters
to be able to perform its whole register.

Regarding dynamics, the Amati Anniversario EASILY outperforms both the
older Amati and the Cremona. The very exclusive Skaaning drivers, made
to Sonus Fabers requirements, and the new filter topology are both
responsible for that.

Like HiFi Choice put it in their initial test of the Amati
Anniversario:

"-Anybody NOT liking the Amati Anniversario must have had their
FUN-button removed long ago."

I think that sums it up quite nicely.

Please get back to me if you have any further questions.

Best regards

Good luck, Tda!

An Amati in each corner with the two ports firing into an horn (the room floor + corner walls)... won't be easy to set up!
Your room is too small for bass and I strongly suggest you gauge the sound by focusing on midbass -- NOT bass (i.e. disregard if you can "hear" 40Hz: focus on if you can "feel" 40Hz, etc).

I just want to emphasize that the Stradivari is NOT for small rooms. That really doesn't work at all! I've heard them in smaller spaces and they sound quite terrible.

They need a big room to do their magic. 25m2 is on the very low end of the scale, I would suggest 35m2 and above, 40-45 and above for really good results, preferably with high ceilings (3m+). These guys need air!
