I had a pair or Amati's (original) & now have the Stradavari's.
The best (TUBE) sound I had with both were with VAC Ren. SIG. Mk. III 140'S amps paired with a VAC Ren. Sig. Mk. II pre. Probably the best sound ever in my system!
I now run the Strad's with Goldmund 29.4's paired with a Halcro DM 10 pre.
Electrocompient Nemo's were also quite satisfiying & extremely powerful with the Strad's & the VAC pre.
