The new additions at KJ West One keep coming. This week we were happy to receive the latest edition of the Sonus Faber Amati Futura passive floor-standing speakers in their new violin red/black satin finish.
This model has been redesigned by Sonus Faber so that the end plates on the top and the bottom of the cabinet have been updated from the chrome finish to the new CNC machined avional nickel-plated design. Their role is to control and constrain residual resonances of the enclosure walls.
In addition to the end plates, all the metallic detailing including the rear of the speakers is now manufactured in the matching black satin finish.
These speakers have always been aesthetically striking but we believe the latest finish just adds a little more sophistication to the design.
The sonic superiority of the Amati Futura remains the same; these are still speakers with impressive natural warmth. It is a very musical experience which never fatigues.
We are currently running them in with the equally as brilliant Naim 500 series. We have been streaming through the Naim NDS which is hooked up to the NAC 552 preamplifier and the NAP 500 power amplifier, all with their separate power supplies. The whole system is connected with Audioquest cables, from speaker cables to the ethernet links.
It is a true audiophile system which compliments the Amati Futuras brilliantly. As we all know, to get the best out of your speakers, you need an exceptional system. Here we have the perfect match.
