Amati Homage to Futura or wait for Lilium?

That's a good question. I cannot seem to assemble a system capable of transcending good stereo and producing the illusion of live music.

It's not changing speakers that will get you there though it will help.

Power and room treatment and speaker positioning are the most crucial to reach this goal.

Yes quite true. I keep hoping that writing bigger checks will do the trick!

Have owned GM and Strad for quite some time, any SF needs 'dominant' amplifiers.
Use the word dominant, because it is not about power in Watt's.

Have listened to many SF out there, and also Futura on many ocasion.
I like Futura over Strad anytime. Futura has higher resolution, and shows much more of the amps and cables used.
Strad is hard to get dissapearing, but yes, it has a charming thing about it. For my concern Strad is dated.

If advise asked, without any doubt buy Futura and spend more budget on even better amps, cables, room acoustics.
Add two REL G2's and give Lilium a run for it's money. Lilium is more about marketing, it fills a gap in the line.. Sure love the looks!

I agree with all of it.
