Hi adsal and twinstick! glad to meet you both.
Like twinstick mentioned, I find the Amati very much on the thin side too. I finally had it professionally measured (speakers in room freq response) and found that there is a huge suckout region from 140Hz to 500Hz. HUGE, i mean by 20db! (I can send you the graph). No matter how I move them and locate them, same thing. This pretty much corresponds to the Stereophile review's finding, only much exagerrated in my room.
I had the Guarneri. They are MUCH more musical. It seems like the Amati is a huge departure from the G's audio goal.
