Hot on the heels of II Cremonese Ex3me limited-edition floorstanding loudspeakers launch, Sonus faber is back with a new pair of audiophile-grade floorstanding speakers that are comparatively affordable than the former. Unveiled yesterday, Sonus faber’s Amati Supreme comes priced at $78,000 per pair, which is almost half the price of II Cremonese Ex3me Lamborghini edition, and ten times cheaper than its flagship model, Suprema. Despite the markdown, the latest audiophile-quality floorstanding speakers are only meant for those who have a taste for luxury and a budget to match.
Beyond its extravagant price tag, the Amati Supreme shines with its aesthetics. Departing from the brand’s traditional glossy wood finishes, the speaker boasts bold, matte metal exteriors in two striking colors: Sabbia Oro (a warm gold) and Terra Rossa (an earthy red). For the first time, the entire cabinet, including the front baffle, is wrapped in this finish, giving the speakers a modern, almost automotive-inspired DNA, reminiscent of Sonus faber’s collaborations with Lamborghini.
Besides price and looks, the biggest talking point of the speaker, as highlighted by Gear Patrol, is its trickle-down technology from the Suprema, Sonus faber’s no-compromise flagship. As aforementioned, the Amati Supreme boasts 4.5 way design featuring the same ‘Voice of Sonus faber’ driver array, including a 38mm silk dome tweeter, a 20mm super tweeter, and a 165mm Camelia midrange driver. These components, mounted on a CNC-machined aluminum flange, deliver sparkling highs and detailed mids that capture the layered nuance of every performance.
For low frequencies, the Amati Supreme employs twin 220mm woofers, powered by a dual-driver motor system and tuned through Sonus faber’s ‘Stealth Ultraflex’ vented system. As pointed out by ecoustics, this setup delivers deep, controlled bass that reaches down to the 28 Hz territory, ensuring the speakers can handle everything from the fast-paced rumble of a symphony orchestra to the punch of electronic beats. With a frequency response stretching up to 40 kHz and a sensitivity of 91 dB, the Amati Supreme is efficient enough to work with a range of amplifiers, though Sonus faber recommends 50 to 600 watts of clean power to unlock its full potential.
From a design standpoint, the speaker features a transparent Y-shaped window on the top panel that offers a glimpse into the speaker’s mid-high crossover section. As highlighted by HomeTheater Review, all of that is controlled by a Phase Coherent Level 3 crossover, with crossover points at 230, 300, 1800, and 5600 Hz. This ensures that everything from the deepest bass to the highest sparkle works together seamlessly.
It is to be noted that the midrange and tweeter are housed in a dedicated cork-lined chamber. “This cork surface is realized through the use of computer simulation, yet the resulting unit is truly organic in shape; without regular shapes and constructed from a completely natural and sustainable material,” the company states. From a configuration perspective, the speaker stands 46 inches tall and weighs 137lbs.

Available globally from September 2025 through select Sonus faber retailers, the $78,000 Amati Supreme is a luxury purchase, aimed at audiophiles with deep pockets and a passion for high-fidelity sound. Clearly, it’s not for casual listeners who don’t care about the nuances of audio fidelity or those with modest setups.
