Best amp for Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario?

If you want to enhance the rich tonal qualities of the speakers, I'd try tubes with sufficient power. However, as I did not have any tube amps on hand at the time I owned the SFAAs, I don't have a specific recommendation. I would imagine that Lamm ML1.1s or M1.2Rs would be quite good. If you wish for a bit more drive, pace and bass control, I'd consider the Boulder 1060. I would also consider Spectral gear - however, you'd need to commit to a preamp-amp plus MIT cables setup. I would imagine that Spectral, which has transparency and dynamics galore (without sound bright at all) would nicely mesh with the timbre the SFAAs produce.

As Paladin mentions, Goldmund would also work well but are hard to find new or used in the US.

Lamm no way, they run out of juice with my previous Annis.
TRy tube-preamp and good powerful solid state amp or CAT amps that really rock the Annis.

best made in heaven setup fo Anniversario and strad is Viva linea xp preamp and
CAT monoblocks, completing my previous input.

Hi Janeb, I will get a pre amp to match the power amp, the room is about 4.5m wide and 6m long. I really like a lot of differnet music, a lot of vocals, piano even Kings of Leon, Massive Attack, House and elecctronic. Thanks for your help :)

Thanks for all the tips, I'm actually in Australia and some of these brands are hard to get. One of the local Audio guys has suggested VTL Reference 185's with a VTL 6.5 pre amp any thoughts on that set up? He also has a pair of Golmund 400's but at $40K second hand is a bit rich for me? Any thougts on US solid state like Levinnson, Bryston or Classe? They are easier to get here althoguh cost far mmore than if purchsed state side :( Or even Electrocompaniet?

Cheers,

Tim
