Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri

McIntosh MA6900 or the NAD Master Series M3. The Sonus Fabers really need considerably more power than their efficiency suggests. The Mac MA2275 is also quite viable, but I the autoformer MA6900 solid state integrated is synergistic with the Sonus Faber.

Ive heard the Gryphon Diablo integrated with the new amati anniversario.....
beautiful result.!!!!!!

I am using the McIntosh MA6900 Integrated Amplifier and the McIntosh MCD205 CD Player with my Sonus Faber Grand Piano Speakers. The MA6900 makes the system more dynamic and open. The imaging is excellent and I was surprised at the amount of bass. Once the system was broken in, my friends were surprised at how good the system sounded. These speakers require high power to sound good since my previous amp was the BOW Wazoo Integrated at 50wpc. I agree with the above post that Sonus Faber Speakers need considerably more power than their efficiency implies. I suggest you borrow the MA6900 amp (and others) and try it out. Using the amp in your home is the only way to decide. cheers...

Thanks everybody for your comments. Any experience with Cary SLI-80 or BAT Vk-300X vs. Sonus speakers ??

Guarneri needs some real power, Krell FBI, Jadis DA88S, Gryphon Diablo, ASR EmiterII, big Chord, new Hegel.... would be some good choices
