Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri EVO's

Congrats. I have owned the original Guarneris and then the Strads so have some familiarity with SF. I have heard all the SF speakers and auditioned a few quite seriously except the Fenice/Sonus Faber (limited edition of 30).

My comments are based more on the original, but I have spent a reasonable amount of time with your Evos.

In general, I found that the Guarneri Evo sounded 'great' with lots of medium to high powered tubes and solid state equipment. What I also found is that it responds surprisingly well to high current amplification in the bass and control. So don't necessarily stick with medium power only...it will put high quality high current to good use.

For some reason, the only caution I personally had was with using powerful SS that was not really really mellifluous...I always like the Krell Evo400 with the non-Homage series SF, but never with the Homage series.

OTOH, I love SF Homage series and Gryphon Class A SS.

If I were to come up with suggestions, depending on your budget, my two fav would be:
- CJ ARTsa
- Gryphon Diablo
Also:
- ARC75
- Berning (which Franco Serblin used to use on his Strads)

One man's opinion. Good luck.

I think going all Bryston could work well. The Guarneris like current, so a 4B SST2 paired with the BP-26 would give you all that and completely balanced giving you lots of flexibility in equipment placement. Pretty cost-effective too.

I have heard the Evo's paired to the Rowland model 625 and also the ARC Ref 75 and Ref 150. All good matches.
Depending on budget, I would say the new Rowland 825 would be a great match.
