Best power match with Sonus Extrema ?

I am looking for the best power to my new Extremas.
I use PSAudio PWDII and a Macintosh c2200 pre.
I would like to get the most neutral and detailed sound
I tried a few big "names" (Krell, ML, Manley) - no success.
Please let me know your advice.

Thanks,

Amnon

I know someone who owns Extremas and uses Pass Labs (also big SS amps operating largely in Class A). I also know someone who uses Burmester.

I used to own SF Guarneris and Stradivaris...and agree with Rcprince. I owned them with Gryphon Antileon.

That said, the Extrema is quite different from Antileon...Why did you not like Krell/ML? That might help us understand what you are looking for (at least by understand what you were missing or what you objected to in their sound).

Sorry...for clarity's sake, i meant to type "...the Extrema is quite different from the Stradivari". i was referring to the fact that the Gryphon Antileon and Strad worked very well together. I do think the Extrema is slightly different as with the rest of that generation Sonus Faber. Still think Gryphon would be excellent, but note the differences in the 'voice' of the 2 speakers.
