I doubt it, unless you are listening only at low levels. The SFs work best with very 'muscular' amplifiers even though their sensitivity ratings may not indicate it. Otherwise they may likely sound dull and lifeless. I agree about a proper power cord, although the HCFi has been superseded.
Brian now I am confused, Holzhauer & REdkiwi states that Plinius is more than enough. Using it with Cremona is effortless, do you think Amati is a much heavier load ?
