Art Audio amp/Sonic frontiers 2SE amp

Have a pair of Soliloquy 6.3's, and I am deciding between Sonic 2 SE, Art Audio Gil or Diavolo power amps. For the near future I will be useing my Krell KRC-3 preamp, but plan to go to tubes there as well.I currently own Cardas reference balanced interconnects now and I noticed the Art Audio equipment does not accept them, only rca. All opinions welcome. Thank you all very much.

Soliloquy demos their speakers at shows with Art Audio amps and raves about them--I can't think of a better endorsement than that. One of the guys who works for Soliloquy uses the Jota with the 6.2s at home. That said, this is always a personal decision and I certainly wouldn't argue with Atma Sphere. I've got the 5.3s and if I were going the tube route those would be the top two on my list. Don't have any experience with the SF amps and Soliloquy. Best of luck.

I would also vote for the Art Audio over the SF. I also admire the Atma Sphere. I use OTL's in my system (tenor) and they are special. I have heard nothing but good things about the Diavlo and Jota.

The Gill is a nice amp. Very musical and lush sounding while the Diavolo is very detailed and more of a front row seat. Joe is definitely a great guy and very reliable as well as a great story teller. I bet the Gill would be much better with some Mullard el34's. Ask Joe about this.
