Hi n_brio,
I own a pair of Sonus Faber Amati Futuras and Devialet Expert 1000 Pros. I love the combination and the sound. The pairing is well matched. If you like Sonus Faber loudspeakers, then I believe you will enjoy the smooth sound the Devialet can provide from them. I've also heard the same Devialet amps driving the Olympica 3s. That works really well too, and the difference is really down to the sound from the individual loudspeakers. I previously owned ARC valve power amps and so joined the Devialet camp from a very different place. I have no regrets. Regards, Nick W |

Tricky to answer this one. They both have the classic Sonus Faber 'house sound' and are therefore quite different to some other speaker brands. I describe the Sonus Faber sound as 'lush', 'romantic' and of great 'tonal' quality. The difference between them comes down to individual preference of course. For me, the Amati has a smoother, fuller and richer tone. I would summarise it as the Amati just has 'more'. |

Amati is more like a real full range speaker and the music gets more full body and powerfull when needed. Soundstage is bigger, you get more involved in the music. The bas gets deeper and more controlled. The midrange is free and the voices is more natural and outside the speaker. Results: Olympica 3 - Amati Future: 4 - 10

My only regret is that the Stradavari was no longer available and I sure would have liked to have heard it due to all the great things that I’ve read about it here including Ivan’s impressions. That being said, I would have had to hear the Stradavari myself and trust my own ears as to which I liked best. |
