Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage

Alain, so I would suspect that the Musical Fidelity Trivista SACD player and untegrated amp would also be a good match?

MF Trivista SACD and Trivista integrated amp are top models of Musical Fidelity company. I hope that two little monsters kick ass of Guarneri Homage.
If you have oportunity to test these things, please test them. I really do not know how they will matc to speakers.
Let it try and take some time to your testing equipments...
Go to MF page and see all specifications of little monsters (TRIVISTA MODELS)

Can't say anything of Trivista models of MF but all previous models seems to me too much overrated and do not correspond to the real power ratings.

I guess that the budget choice should be McCormack separates such as DNA2 with TLC or any passive preamp or Bryston monoblocks that could be successfully driven with the same McCormack passive pre.

Another way is Plinius separates that is underrated with their current and power delivery capabilities that could drive anything that is currently produced for instance even Plinius SA102.

You can go tube way such as VTLMB180 that is stable to 2Ohm loads but may lack bass but with super mids and highs clarity and overall soundstaging and resolution.

what about the sonus faber musica integrated amp? - 50w/ch into 8 ohms &
100w/ch into 4 ohms. no remote, no balance control, no phase switch. is it just nice looking, or is sonus faber up to something here?

I used mccormack dna dlx for some time, after AR vt100 mk2, and now gamut d200 mk3- the best I heard, I think that SF guanier sound sweet with a lot of amplifiers, but gamut is the best I heard, I do not think tubes are better with SF guarniere( many others thinks that tube are friend of SFG) they are only diferent, and to me gamut has more bass , sweet medios, and soft silky hihgs.I think SF guarniere is a fantastic speaker.
