Power Amp for Extrema S

Im to sure of anything beyond what I have aready stated. I damaged a woofer (completely my fault) and the company had just changed hands when I had it repaired. I was told, by the people I bought the speaker from, that they had replaced them before for about 400 dollars. They also told me that they had seen the company cover the cost of repairs for free the first time around.

The final cost was fifteen hundred dollars. The story that I told you recently was given to me for the reason of this change.

I will admit that they went to great lengths for quality. The crossover was also damaged and they (Im not sure if it was Sonus or Sumiko) even had the entire speaker sent to them to make sure the same exact crossover was used for a perfect match.

The Meridian 557 amps bridged, sound amazing with the Sonus Faber Extremas. I heard this combo at the Stereophile show in 1996. The Mcintosh MC 352 also sounds great on the Extremas

I too live in the sticks, Actually on the island of Guam.
I went with the pass x350 and the synergistic ref matched to the dunlavys sc 4a,s havent regreted. Audio-video logic
has always done me right. I had to go on memmory from ten yrsw ago when i was in high end. The biggest headache is shipping and waitting for the damn stuff, even with priority mail it takes close to 2 weeks, not to mention cost of shipping the amp alone was 5or 600.00. But at the end of the day i listen to the music and you froget about the cost and the wait for shipping. When you live in paradise not everything is perfect. good luck

I use the Wolcott's on the Extrema with good results..though I'm not convinced that tubes are ideal for the Extrema's..I'm considering several ss amps, anyone have any thoughts on the Lamm 2.1's?

That depends on what kind of speakers you are using.
For 8 Ohm speakers, I prefer Transcendent Sound's T-8 LN.
(OTL monoblocks, 80 watts into 8 ohm.)
