Sonus Faber Musica intergrated amp users feedback


I am looking for feedback on the Sonus Faber Musica intergrated amp. A high end audio dealer told me that the Musica would do a better job of driving my Sonus Faber Guarneri and be more musical than my current set up(Mcintosh MC2102amp and Mcintosh C2200preamp). He bases this on the fact that Sonus Faber uses the Musica to voice all the speakers they produce. I know it's an apples and oranges thing as my Mcintosh equipment is an all tube design, and provide 100 watts per side. The sonus Faber Musica is an intergrated solid state amp with 50 watts per side. I would audition the amp just for curiousity, but the dealer is 5 hours away. I am very happy with my Mcintosh equipment, but I am curious about his comment-Especially since he says he does not know much about the current Mcintosh tube gear and is not a dealer. Any thoughts on this matter would be great. As I say, I love my set up- but I am curious to what you all think. The rest of my equipment is as follows:

Rega P9 w/1000 arm
Micro Benz LP cartridge
Sony ES777SACD
Audio Research Reference Phono Preamp
Nordost Red Dawn IC's and cable through out
Richard Gray 400S (Two of them)
Sonus Faber Guarneri
Mcintosh MR85 tuner
nocaster
