Sonus Faber Amati G5

[Maxim-ICOM]

Measured Sonus Faber Amati G5 - very nice looking speakers. As many Sonus it have own "house sound" and low-order crososvers.
Here is "complex summ" of near for drivers and ports with 1m gated on tweeter axis.

Would be nice to have the complete spinorama to know how is the dispersion and final predicted in-room response. But linearity on axis is quite good already, better than what I have seen from them in the past. Though that f3 = 47 Hz is not very low extension considering the size and price (36k usd) of these speakers IMO.

SF always gorgeous, a pleasure to look at.

Edit: more measurements here, they look a lot worse.

Lab Report The Amati G5 may be likened to an integrated sub/sat – the 150mm mid and 28mm DAD tweeter working into their own 'Intono' chamber (including a controlled vent for the mid) – while the two 220mm woofers fill-in the lower decade of bass (20Hz-200Hz/270Hz). The off-axis response of this...

Indeed they do, but this is more zoomed in. I think this is typical for this brand. Other speakers measured by Erin show a similar tuning, with lots of midrange resonances, rising HF response. Directivity is a bit hit and miss.

I would never spend 40k in these..

You are right, the HFN measurements have 30 dB on the Y axis, which expand the peaks and valleys a lot more. Sorry for not noticing this.

I do not like spinoramas. For me it is not that fine as a few graphs for different angles off-axis - 10/30/45degrees.
0/30/45 horizontal is here:

And
here is Vertical -10(green)/0(red)/30(blue)/45(purple) Vertical

Well, directivity isn’t too bad at least. The rest could be EQ’ed.
