Hi
I just bought a Pathos Classic one to drive Sonus Faber Amator2 and I'm very happy. When I was buying my previous Sonus Faber (Concerto Home) I heard them with SF Musica and LOVED it. I compared it to several integrated, the first Pathos Classic, Unison Research first SR1(I think), Copland (?) and Krell 300i. The Krell was a disappointement, to bright, cold, thin. Pathos, Unison, Copland, very loose bass, very boomy. The Musica was the last to play and put a smile on my and my gilrfriend's face. That was the perfect match for us. Thight bass, warm but detailed and lively sound. But I didn't buy it for one reason, I could not live with its looks!
If you can, listen to both the Pathos and Musica. The Musica is almost twice the price, if that's important.
Good listening
