Just the right amount of oomph for that 4 ohm impedance and enough soul to make those lovely creatures dance. Solid state with Sonus Faber is a no-no. rneill

I heard them with both the big CJ monoblocks and Spectral monoblocks. In my opinion if you like their sound you should stay away from solid state amps.

Awesome combination with the Amati's. It's what I'm listening to right now -- fluid and quick, with soul. MIT Oracle V2 speaker cables mate perfectly with this trio. If you live in the Bay Area, go hear this combo at Music Lover's Audio in Berkeley. Ask for Jae or Hugh. TRH
