What tube amp mates well with Sonus Faber Amati's?


I have recently purchased a pair of Sonus Faber Amati's and have not yet decided on an amp. One of the amps I have considered are the Cary 805c's however i was told the bass may be a bit defficient. The speakers are 92db efficient and are rated nominally at 4 ohms. The lowest dip is to 2.9 ohms. I would appreciate any thoughts on the Cary/Sonus Faber combination or any other amplification suggestions regarding this speaker. Thank you

it is a pity that the amatis are not biampable. i have been through much grief recently trying to find power amps which can drive the amatis' woofers well. despite their fairly high sensitivity( 92 db ), the amatis do better with more power. i've heard the vtl 250s ....great midrange and detail but i was still not happy with the bass control. transistor power amps may have this advantage but i think that will come at the expense of the midrange/higher frequencies. i'm told that the new jadis defy 7 is a good match, i've yet to hear it.
i will keep you posted.

cheers,
