Best amp for Sonus Faber Cremona M - need help

I guess you will have no problems providing the Cremona's with enough juice. ;-)

That s for sure. My point is really; the sonus faber sound very nice with tube amplification, nice and warm, but I think I need better tube amplification for the Cremonas. I would like the sound to be a little brighter. A few years ago I had Naim solid state amplification and Triangle speakers, and it all sounded too forward and rather fast, and in your face. With the tubes, i most definately perfer that warm, more laid back sound. When I purchased my Sonus Fabers, I heard them ta the London Hi Fi Show being demonstrated with the Papworth Tubes. I was certainly very impressed with the combination then!

Hi Hulskof; just found some old litrature on the Papworths.
They use Mc Intosh circitury. Saying that,Willmi s recommendation on the Mc Intosh might be a good one for the sonas fabers.

Whatever, you decide on,please "post it". Although I have been happy with the Papworths for quite some time now, I too feel it is time for change. I espicially like their "esoteric" look. I like my system to look nice as well as sound nice. Lets face it, we all do! The proplem is; trying to find esoteric good looking valve amps that have enough power to drive the power hungry sonas fabers. Anybody out there got any more suggestions?

Well, I don't think you'll find tubeamps out there with more power than you already have! Better looking maybe, but not more powerful. I doubt it's neccessary even, since tube power seems to differ from solid state power quite a bit.
