When I realized it was the Amati's playing, I sat and listened for a while with a big grin on my face. They are wonderful - congrats again!!

Randy.......Yes, you are one of the few members here who have seen and heard my new Amati Anniversario's, so you know I'm speaking the truth. I can understand being stopped in your tracks by these speakers. The do sound that good.

Jim.......Those Graphite Amati's could be coming to your home with a bit of dealer intervention.

Reading everything you have posted has made me feel a part of this adventure and it has been pure enjoyment.
Best of everything Dan, you certainly deserve it.

Howard.......Thank you. The studio is like a cozy cocoon with a fantastic sound system, and a thrilling home theater system. A dumb waiter to the kitchen, and I would never have to go upstairs again.

What was that thread about "your daddy's SET" again?

As always, I enjoyed your review Dan. Many happy listening hours with your new Amatis!

Jeff.......Until you've seen the graphite Amati Anniversario's in person, you have no idea how amazing the finish looks. Truly outstanding. I wish I had the skills and equipment to properly capture their beauty in photographs.

Serge.......

There was so much talk about SET this, and SET that, I just thought I'd throw in some good ol' McIntosh power, all 4.5 watts of it.

Speaker changes can often be the toughest decision to make, but the result, as you concluded, can be very rewarding. I am currently in the process of doing the same, so it is very inspirational to read such a positive outcome.

Hopefully you will be able to sell your outgoing speakers very soon.

Buddy.......Thank you for the kind words. You are so right about speaker changes creating tough decisions. As you move up, so does the anxiety associated with hoping the correct choice was made. As we become experienced, and have a solid idea of what type of sound we most enjoy, the decision process becomes a bit easier.
