Sonus Faber Amati Futura Speakers - Italian Excellence

Free Shipping on *ALL* Electronics (Excluding Speakers, Contiguous 48 US States Only)

Quite possibly the most beautiful speakers to come through our shop. A cross between a Steinway grand piano and a Riva Marine powerboat.

Finished in a tasteful combination of gloss wood, polished stainless, and fine leather.

Fabric tweeters and well tuned midrange drivers will ensure great detail and precision without the typical fatigue of metal drivers. Dual bass drivers will fill even the most demanding rooms.

These will ship in their very high quality and original double boxes, ensuring safe travel anywhere in the world.

Fully tested in our lab and in our listening room and they're working exactly as they should all around.

The Wood finish is absolutely perfect, the top metal tops are free of any scratches but exhibit light fine swirls from wiping if you look at an angle. Woofers and tweeters are perfect.

Includes boxes, manuals, spikes and all literature. $36,000 MSRP when new.

From an excellent Stereophile review by John Atkinson:

"Summing Up
Superbly engineered and equally superbly finished, the Sonus Faber Amati Futura justifies—at least to those who can afford it—its $36,000/pair price by offering sound quality to match its drop-dead-gorgeous looks. Its high frequencies may be somewhat mellow in absolute terms, which may be a factor in large rooms, but this is offset by the sheer amount of recorded detail that the speaker presents to the listener. I was sorry to see the Amati Futuras leave my listening room; I had spent many fall evenings engrossed in my music, thanks to the marriage of art and science represented by their design."
