Choice of amplifier


I recently purchased a pair of Sonus Faber Extrema. For those of you who know the Extrema, they need a lot of power. I currently own an EAR 890 (70WPC class A), which has plenty of power, but not enough to drive the Extrema well. So, I am selling the EAR to get a bigger amp. Here are a few choices I am considering:

a) CJ Premier 140 (or Premier 12)
b) A muscular solid state (a 300WPC Cello or a similarly powerful Edge)
c) I might get another EAR 890 and use them in mono

What do you think?

I suggest you the Parasound Halo JC1's on the Extrema
I know very well the S.F Extrema sound and I'm sure the sweetness combined to the brutal power of these monoblocks are a perfect "Matrimonio" (marriage)
I have them on my Thiel 2.4
Great loudspeakers too
