I've posted this several times, but here goes again. When I first got into Sonus Faber speakers, my dealer recommended Pathos. He carried other brand he could have recommended, but he felt Pathos and Sonus Faber interfaced well. Well, I mono-blocked two Pathos ones with Concertos. A year ago I upgraded to Cremora M's and am still very happy with the Pathi. I've upgraded the tubes abit and think I have a great combo. Both products are made in Italy.
Amp for Sonus Faber Cremoma M
I am looking to upgrade my amp for the mains to improve my 2 channel sound. I currently have an Emotiva XPA5 that I will continue to use for the center and rears when listening to concert DVD's or Sacd's
I am considering Emotiva XPA1 Mono Blocks @ 500 per channel / 1000 into 4 ohms for $2000.
Would I get better sound buying a higher end amp used,for example a Pass Labs x250.5, McIntosh MC205 or Krell Kav3250 which would also run my center for SACD's?
I appreciate the input as I have found that it is very difficult to demo amps side by side with the same speakers / electronics.
