They sound great. However, I plan to buy a pair of Sonus Faber Extremas. I loved the design and the sound from these speakers. They are old but their sound is so sweet and musical. My concern is Extremas are so picky about amps and components set-up, especially power of the amps. I notice that the A-45 amp, as a pure Class A amp, even though it is rated at 45W/channel, it is so powerful and can drive full-size speakers. However, i am still concerned about its ability to drive speakers such as Extremas. Any comments? please share with me. Thanks

I have not had a chance to compare a45 vs a60 but I have had a chance to listen to a-60 at an Accuphase dealer. They sound similar, sweet and powerful. Very 'accuphase' sound. I decided to buy a Thiel CS 7.2 instead of Extremas last year. To my surprise, A-45 could drive Thiel CS 7.2 (Flagship model) quite easily even though Thiel speakers are normally hungry for power. I guess that Class-A amps of high-quality like Accuphase's are usually underrated. Any thoughts or experience?
