Are Sonus Faber Cremonas "Tube Friendly"?

The Cary will be fine. No worries. I bet it will sound great. Good luck.

I used a Cary V12R with Cremonas for about nine months until last week when I traded them for the Stradivaris. The Cremonas are great speakers and the Cary is a superb match. Used a CAT Ultimate pre amp and sometimes the AES 3 pre.Cheers.

The only "Cremona friendly" tube gear I know is VTL and Manley's. They use low output impedance transformers (0.7 Ohm secondary winding)
Be noted, that the bass can still suffer.

If you are still concerned after the above posts. The amp may work great as in Smp's experience. Twl has a point too. you may not get optimum performance into a load like that. Take a page from the Magnepan and elecrostat guys and look into this link.

My uderstanding is, that many tube amps will work and sound best out of a particular tap. The ARC amp I have, due to the design, seems to work best from the 8 ohm tap,just as an example. The Zero can make the amp see the impedance you need. It's worth looking at.

Has anybody tried the Zero? Does it add coloration?
