The Sonus Faber Amati Supreme is a high-end floorstanding loudspeaker that integrates advanced technologies from the $750,000 Suprema flagship, including the exact same silk dome super tweeter (20mm), silk dome tweeter (38mm), and Camelia midrange driver with phase plug. It employs a 4.5-way configuration with midrange in a sealed cork-damped box and woofers in a vented 'Stealth Ultraflex' system. The design features a distinctive Y-shaped window revealing the mid-high crossover, matte aluminum finishes in Sabbia Oro or Terra Rossa, and a rear-panel tuning system for mid-high and mid-bass adjustments. Handcrafted in Italy, it delivers reference-level performance with live-like dynamics, extraordinary clarity, and room adaptability. Available since September 2025.
