SONUS FABER Amati Tradition

Only superlatives can describe the craftsmanship of the Amati Tradition. The lute shaped cabinet is used by Sonus Faber to suppress internal standing waves, a laminar bassreflex duct that runs as a backbone at the speaker’s back and that we have already seen in Olympica range should ensure unturbulent flow of air, glossy metal and soft leather parts on the baffle look luxurious, and deep brown Wenge or deep Red Wood finish are both amazing. The Sonus Faber speakers are also among the few that look equally amazing from inside – check the attached pictures for yourself.

The Amati Traditions are reasonably tall (118cm) and reasonably heavy (61kg); the cabinets are braced and each driver sits in its own compartment. Sonus Faber has never ceased using silk dome tweeters and the Amati Tradition is not an exception. Midrange and dual bass drivers are a sandwich of foamed polymer and cellulose. The bass drivers hands over to midrange at 250Hz, however each bass driver covers different range – they are crossed over at 80Hz. It should be easy to blend the Amati Tradition with your electronics for they provide nice 90dB sensitivity and low 4 ohm impedance. Speaker terminals make bi-wiring possible, spikes (again very beautifully made) are fully adjustable. As it is, the Amati Tradition is a love at first sight.
