Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri EVO's


I have a pair in Walnut on their way and I am doing a complete reset of my existing system. Very curious which amplifiers people have had great experience with while paired with the EVOs. I am open to both tube or solid state and would also consider a high quality integrated. My source with be Bryston BDP-1 and BDA-1. I like the option of running balanced, though single ended is fine too.

So did you guys get the speakers yet?? I am excited for both of you! BTW, get your back limber...those stands are heavy and awkward to carry without damaging the "strings" that run from top to bottom.
Mine arrived this morning. :-)
It good and bad day...my dealer mistakenly shipped only one of the stands...Boo! Oh well, mistakes happen, were all human and he's a good dude. He is overnighting the other one to me and it will arrive tomorrow.
A little hard to assess the sound when one is on a bar stool and the other it's proper stand. Different heights, different rake angles, etc. they are absolutely stunning in person and much larger than I had anticipated.
The stands are really beautifully done and much nicer in person than they appear in photos. Also bought a Primaluna Dialogue HP with both EL34s and KT-120s and a Rega Brio-R. A new Audioquest interconnect should arrive tomorrow as well. Pretty excited for tomorrow to arrive!
Congrats...sounds like a beautiful setup. Look forward to reading about it after everything is setup hopefully tomorrow. Congrats and enjoy.
Bavarian05, congrats sort of! :). I am listening to my Evolutions right now and loving them. Getting room treatments really allowed these speakers to show me what they are capable of! And yes I agree they are larger than expected. I look forward to hearing your impressions.
Hello, i pick up my EVO S.F. at the MIRABEL airport (FEDEX ) this afternoon, red violin, open box like in new condition not even broken. I gave you a report later on. Thank's to a well know famous store down in Florida. 3 separate boxes, one wooden crate for the head's weighting in at nearly 300 pounds (3). Poor instructions manual but it sound more like an musical instrument ...to follow
