David needs to make sure he does not forget to get all of the grease off his hands too.

Prudent decision (as opposed to spending more money on another pre-amp).

I think you will be sleeping in the chair tonight listening to the music. The cabinets, in that color, are a work of true art. Enjoy!!!!

Initial impressions:

The Amati's are a bit over powering for my listening room and I need to play around with speaker position. I have them in the same position that my Cremona's were in. The analogy of these SF Amati anniversario speakers would be that they kind of are like a dark beer compared to my Cremona's which also sound fantastic but they are more of a light lager. These speakers are way more powerful, more full bodied, way deeper in the bass. The bass is very full and extended, a little bit boomy for my taste. The midrange and silk tweeter are terrific. My digital music sounds way better then my LP's.

You may want to reconsider this. I run dual F113's with my Strads; properly setup they compliment them beautifully!
