Tubes OR solid state for Sonus Faber Cremona Audit


Just bought a great pair of 2 yr. old Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors -- not the M series. I listen primarily to acoustic jazz. My room is 13 ft. wide X 17 ft. deep with a 10 ft. ceiling. I am up grading my integrated amp (Lector VFI 70L 50 WPC) but I cannot afford to buy separates. My question is: will the Auditors really come alive with tubes or solid state equipment? I am leaning toward the Cayin A 100T OR the Mcintosh MA6300. Both are 100 WPC. Please extend your opinion about the above integrated amps and offer other suggestions for me to consider. My budget is about $3,500.00.

I have owned a few pair of SFs through the mid 90s into the early 00s, the Concertos, EAIIs, Signums and Grand Pianos. Over that time, my favorite amp for the SF were Brystons. I found that the rock solid nature of the Brystons worked extremely well with the smoother character of the SF...one was the ying to the other's yang...

Good Luck, John
