Sonus Faber Extremas ?

If a pair ever pops up for sale in the US I'll have to consider them. The amplification issue makes it a tough choice. Plus, Sumiko's policy with respect to service is not a friendly one IMHO.

I'm certainly not married to low powered tube amps, but still the cooler sounding monster ss aren't really for me either. I've had many amps over the years, but have settled on a great pair of Aleph 2s.

Threads like this is why I appreciate being an Audiogon member.

Sirspeedy, I use my Townshends with Talon Hawks monitors (said to go to 40Khz flat) and they do indeed make a notable difference even here: set at 2 on their dial. I would suggest that you experiment with cables. I use the same cable as I use for my speakers and I think the synergy is increased. When I used the supplied copper cables there seemed to be a tonal imbalance with my silver core cabling. It seems more integrated now but I am still experimenting.
Cheers

Hi I purchace one pair to Extremas, my power is Krell
KSA-300s its very, very powerfull & musical, for me is
the first posibility in amplification.Thanks

i would 2nd or 3rd the opinion of using Krell amplification with this speaker like the krell 250 or the krell ksa300s. These speakers love power.

I have Krell fpb 750 mcx , is it good mats for Extremas ?
