Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors / Manley Stingray??

Hi,

Im in the process of purchasing a pair of Cremona Auditors. I have Aural Symphonic cables, interconnects, and a Rega CD player. The speakers will be set up in a small room, and listened to at relatively low levels.
The Cremonas seem effecient at 91db. But, they do drop to 4 ohms. Im wondering if the Stingray would be a good system match. Budget is a concern. Has anyone tried them with the Pathos or SF Musica amps? I do prefer an intergrated tube amp, but I am curious about the two amps mentioned above. All feedback is appreciated.

Thanks!

Have you also considered the VAC Avatar or Conrad Johnson CAV50, or maybe even an Antique Sound Lab/Cayin if budget is a concern? I am currently driving my SF Grand Piano's with the VAC Avatar with great results. Wide soundstage, good transparency with sweet mid-range. Great for classical music, jazz and vocal.

I've also recently sold my Rega Planet 2000 for a Cary and the difference is quite dramatic. Much more dynamic that I expected.
