@rick_n thanks. And yes, it does sound good(at least to me).
@kofibaffour thank you for your inputs and glad to know that I have the right amp. As for the Sonus Faber sound, I have demoed them before (Olympics novas, Maxima Amati’s, and their higher end models). Just that I did not have an opportunity to demo the Amati G5 before purchasing them. However, now that I have them, no regrets at all.
Sonus Faber Amati Tradition or Serafino G2
Hello - Literally my first post here. Relatively new to the hobby and looking to build a new hifi system and can use some advice here.
I currently have a pair of BW Formation Duos (these are fantastic by the way) with Cambridge Alva TT V2 turntable and looking to up the game with what would consider to be forever system.
I know I like the Sonus Faber sound signature. I am trying to decide between a used Amati Tradition (previous gen) vs Serafino G2 (current model) for the same cost. Both driven by Accuphase E-5000 integrated in a 13 ft X 38 ft room with 9.5ft ceiling. I listen to Jazz (50%), Acoustic vocals (25%), Classic rock(25%). Unfortunately, do not have a way to audition them before making the purchase.
Do any of you have experience with both of these and what would you do if you were in my shoes.
Thanks for your guidance in advance.

@rock112 ah seems I misunderstood then. Enjoy your media on them👍🏾 |
Nice. Beautiful aren’t they? Not only do they sound great... they are simply gorgeous. I have a friend that set up a system in a room very much like yours. We worked on room treatments and positioning for about a year (obviously very part time). The sound of the initial set up was absolutely (like yours), completely and totally in a different league when done. There is lots of potential there. |

@ghdprentice yes, they are a looker for sure and just elevates the space. I know I can use some room treatment in my room. I will look to add corner base traps and ceiling treatment at some point. Right now I have already spent quite a bit, so will need to ease up on it or else will get in trouble with my significant other -:). Anyways, I am looking to experiment with setup and positioning to see how to improve the sound without breaking the bank. Any pointers on where to start would be appreciated - is 4feet from back wall plenty or will they benefit from more or less? What would you recommend for toe in? |
