Best amp for Sonus Faber Cremona M - need help

Yes, Pathos definitely is on the list. Sonus Faber's Musica won't be as good as some 50 Watts tube amps out there I'm afraid. It's people actually claimed the Mystère superior to most of the stuff they heard on their speakers.

See: http://www.mystere-eu.com/

And it's indeed very good. But it has no remote and the volume steps are not to my liking (to big). Which is a shame, coz it's a beauty of an amp.

Thanks a lot for the link. I didn't know Mystère until now. I must get a taste of it next time when I'm in Antwerp, I've seen the Technology Factory has it in its product range, couldn't be better! I can't wait to compare the IA21 with the similarly priced Unison S2K that I use myself!

You're welcome. It really is something else. And I know for a fact (since I e-mailed with Herman, the man behind it) that they will bring out models with remote control, prob. next year. So, maybe I should wait until then...

Hi Hulskof,
Another good amplifier you could consider is Karan KA I 180. From what I’ve read it matches well with Sonus Faber.

@Hulskof

I have never touched the pre but the amp definitely gets very hot. Not a biggie in Europe though as its still bloody cold in Switzerland :-)

The thing I was talking about was my audio consultant. He is a genius in 2CH and MCH and perhaps the only thing related to this hobby that I will never change. He told me that there were couple of other dealers like him in Europe as well who does not just sell stuff but actually set it for their customers. If you are interested than let me know and I will see with him if something can be arranged.

IME I could not have brought my system to the level he has brought it to.
