The New Amati G5 or Joseph Audio Pearl Graphene

I think Joseph’s speakers are as good as any Sonus Faber. They absolutely do not compromise on anything. As they say, different strokes for different folks. I’ve heard the Pearls a couple of times and I will take them over any Sonus Faber any time. 

Another big JA fan here.  Clinical?  No.  Natural sound and just reproduce what they’re fed.  Pearls would be my end-game speaker. 

@arafiq Gosh - I am so torn...! I love my JA dealer as well and would LOVE to drop this wad on his business... I'm going over there agin this week to give them another listen for sure. Thank you for your comments...!

@soix I will deffo give then another listen. Thank You for your notes..!

I am curious on what you decide because I think your choices are win-win.

I have listened to the Amanti G5 powered by Audio Research 160 stereo, Moon 860AV2 and Boulder's 300 watt amp.  I think they sound awesome. 

@jomonhifi Please understand that I'm in no way implying that Sonus Faber is inferior to Joseph Audio by any stretch of the imagination. But for my taste, the Joseph Audio is spot on. It just does everything right. I currently own Perspective2 Graphene speakers. If I ever upgrade, it will most likely be the Pearls.

I didn't mean to come off like I was disparaging to the Sonus Faber brand. Of course, they make a fantastic speaker. I have owned and loved the Olympica II model. There's a reason they have stayed relevant for so long.
