The prestigious Italian acoustic box manufacturer Sonus Faber has just demonstrated once again his passion for excellence with the most recent incorporation into his exquisite catalog: the Bass-Reflex column of 4’5 Amati Supreme Ways. A new and bold expression of acoustic innovation and timeless design, which, based on the legacy of the extraordinary supreme complex, advanced engineering with Italian crafts to achieve exceptional benefits crowned by a wonderfully compact silhouette. Thus, the incorporation of the iconic version “Voice of of Sonus Faber” (you) used in the mentioned supreme, ensures a sound of authentic reference that complements and highlights the elegant form of this exquisite realization. On the other hand, a transparent window in the form of “Y” located at the top of the enclosure invites the listener to enter the “technical” heart of this sensational speaker system, offering a vision of the exquisitely arranged media section of the filter of frequency divisor Phase Coherent Level 3, a subtle but deep testimony of the harmony between technology and aesthetic.
The meticulous attention to the details that have always characterized Sonus Faber extends to the interior, where a carefully chosen transduce configuration constitutes the core of the benefits of the Amati Supreme. A Tweeter and a Sama dome supertweeter guarantee unparalleled clarity in the restitution of high frequencies, while the exclusive Camelia media speaker provides strict control of criticism of the medium-high zone of the spectrum. These refined components are mounted on a mechanized aluminum flange with CNC and locked in a cork structure developed to optimize air flow and frequency response. The icing is put two woofers 220 mm in diameter and double engine loaded in one of the sophisticated ports “Stealth Ultraflex” by Sonus Faber. Able to handle a maximum power of 600 w completely free of distortion, the Amati Supreme exhibits the dynamic range and realism necessary to capture the strength and intimacy of a live action. Likewise, an imaginative finely integrated fine adjustment mechanism in the rear panel allows the user to modify the levels of media and media-records to optimize performance in any listening space.
The final touches that apply to the new sonus faber are acoustic and visual in equal parts, having been entrusted to the technology teachers of the Transalpina company by harmonizing their expert ear, their instinct, their experience and its emotional sensitivity, so that each acoustic box reaches a perfect harmonic balance. Two carefully defined matte metal endings, Sabbia gold, a bright and warm neutral tone, and Terra Rossa, an earthy and daring red, enhance the set with a finish that, for the first time, fully wraps it, front panel included. In the words of Livio Cucuzzca, Director of Industrial Design of Sonus Faber, “the Amati Supreme is the incarnation of our belief that aesthetics and sound are inseparable. Each element was chosen not only to shape the sound of the acoustic box, but also to make it so beautiful for the view as for its ear. It is our most complete expression to the date of crafts, technical progress and Italian art.”
