It was an unforgettable evening in our Scottsdale showroom as we introduced Sonus faber's latest masterpiece, the Amati Supreme loudspeakers, to the world. Guests were welcomed into an atmosphere of music, design, and Italian elegance for a milestone moment in high-end audio.
We were honored to be joined by two distinguished guests. Livio Cucuzza, Chief Design Officer of Sonus faber, and Roberto Gamba, Sales Director and International Business Developer for the McIntosh Group, shared their insights into the inspiration, craftsmanship, and production process that brought the Amati Supreme to life.
To show the Amati Supreme in action, LMC featured two complete systems highlighting both available finishes. The Sabbia Oro pair was demonstrated with the dCS Rossini DAC and Master Clock, Burmester's 077 preamplifier with external power supply, and 218 monoblock amplifiers — an elegant, powerful system that brought out every nuance. The Terra Rossa pair was partnered with Audio Research's Reference 330M monoblocks, the Reference 6SE preamplifier, and the dCS Lina Network DAC and Master Clock. The Terra Rossa system went on to our Tempe showroom; the Sabbia Oro pair remains on display in Scottsdale.
Alongside the Amati Supreme, guests had the rare chance to experience the Il Cremonese Ex3me — Automobili Lamborghini Edition in a bold yellow finish. Every detail reflects Italian craftsmanship at its finest, from aerodynamic cabinet contours inspired by Lamborghini silhouettes to the open-top design revealing the intricate crossover network — a nod to the transparent hoods showcasing Lamborghini supercar engines.
Guests were also treated to an intimate listening session with the Sonus faber Suprema, the company's flagship loudspeaker system. Paired with authentic Italian cuisine, these demonstrations created an immersive atmosphere where music, design, and culture came together.
We are grateful to Roberto Gamba and Livio Cucuzza for traveling to Scottsdale, and to Craig Brown and Jim Pistol of McIntosh for attending and supporting this debut. And thank you to everyone who joined us — grazie mille for celebrating with us.
