Sonus Faber speakers

@andrew_r I used the 4 ohm taps on my MC 302 for the the Sonetto Vs.

And I did ask McIntosh Labs for their suggestion and they also said use the 4 ohms for the speakers.

I'd love some input as Im looking to upgrade my speakers (don't ask - anything would be an upgrade) but Im hoping this thread is appropriate. I'm not a sophisticated audiophile but I find I like the SF sound (and look). I know I like the Sonetto ii speakers; Im also thinking about the Minima Amator ii. I dont have the opportunity to hear them side by side. Any thought as to significant differences - in short, is the MAii worth a bit more of a splurge? Thanks

Night and day!

Amator II ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hmmm, night and day? - Here's where I show my ignorance - I dont see anything in specs that scream night and day. Any chance you could share why or in what way the MAs are superior? Thanks

Slightly off topic.  I am a happy owner of Nova IIs and drive them with a Pass Labs x150.5.  I have thinking of upgrading to a Pass xa30.8 or xa25, but wonder if the xa25 would struggle with its rated 50w at 4ohm?
