I have been thinking of getting an older Cremona myself sometime. I think the amp I am currently using, a CJ Premier 350, would be very good with them. They will run between 4 and 5 thousand $ if you can find one. One of the best amps ever made.
Amp for Sonus Faber Cremona - old model
I have the upgrade bug, and am considering replacing my Simaudio i7 integrated amp. My system consists of i7 and Supernova by Simaudio, Cremona speakers (not M) and an SVS PB12 sub.
I have no real complaints other than the speakers can sound a bit forward at times, and maybe some distortion at high volumes ;). I want to try separates, and I plan on taking my time and auditioning several systems. This may involve bringing my speakers in to a shop - although some of the shops in my area will allow me to bring gear home for a trial.
I've already upgraded twice from lower power amps, and find that the Cremonas need a lot of good quality power.
I'm thinking of the P/W7 from Sim as a start. What would you suggest? I've never tried tubes but would like to do so.
