Best Amp for Sonus Faber Cremona Series

Hi,

I am thinking of buying cremona series speakers...either a cremona auditor (or) floor standing Cremona. I will greatly appreciate if you can recommend me a very good Intertated Amplifier ( open for both SS integ, Tube Integ and Hybrid as well...Have preference for tube-integrated if they can drive cremona ) for driving:

1. Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor
2. Sonus Faber Cremona

I am also open for Pre-Amp/Amp combo if that is what is really needed. Can you please let me know this combo as well.

My room size is 20 x 20 x 8 and will be moving the system in the future into a romm of size 20 x 20 x 18

My musical prefernce is Vocals, Instruments, Jazz and occassional pop.

Thanks
Grakesh

PS: I apologize ahead..I did post a similar thread, by mistake, in the speakers forum. I realized that it was a mistake and re-posting it here.

Sorry for the late post...If you have not already spent the hard earned i can very much recommend the Cremona Auditor with the Mac MA6900. I have been running this combination for some time and personally think it sounds great.
I have recently moved house and have the system in an open plan living room with high ceiling and it still sounds great...detailed but smooth, enough bass, the amp has a valvish sound but with plenty of grunt...perfectly matches the speakers.

Hi there - I'm looking for help with this too.

I've got a Luxman L-580, freshly recapped.  It's the largest integrated they made at the time, but it's still underpowered by modern standards.

Will it nicely drive a pair of floor standing Cremonas?

Really appreciate help here!

We have Sonus Faber in our Listening Room top of the line models. One of our customers has been using the Counterpoint Solid One power amplifier with excellent results. You can also use the Solid 2 or the SA-100 hybrid power amps. A BIG PLUS is that these amps can be upgraded with ease and sound even better.

We have heard them with many different amps - some of which are recommended above. Get a Counterpoint and enjoy.
