SF Extrema,Few q


Hi there,

I read a lot about this speaker ,a lot of people saying its the best speaker ever,but also mention that it really hard to "push" and if i buy it i need very expensive amp and source.
I want to know why it have to be that expensive ,Is there strong AMP that can work good with the EXTREMA without being very expensive (for me >3K its expensive)?
Nuforce,CI Audio and etc arent expensive and i heard they can kick!
Is anybody know how this speaker work with CLASS D ?amplication?I read that tube isn't good for this speaker.

for Those who have/had it:
What do u think about this speaker copmaring new speaker around the 5K?is it good invesment?after all the speaker old (14years).
Thanx a lot!

I use a Audio Research D400mkII (400wpc/4ohm) solid state amplifier that I purchased used on A'gon for around 2K. This amp give me the best of both worlds smooth, airy and guts!!! This is a great amp I feel for any speaker that need lots of current. I've thought about buying another to run mono. Truly the greatest speaker I've owned...

Good Luck...David
