Sonus Faber Sonetto 8g2 - amp pairing

As a owner of the Sonetto 8s gen 1 i started out with the ARC75.  The ARC75 was a good sounding amp but the 75 watts did not move me, so I replaced it with the ARC150SE.  This was a great amp.  Very musical and holographic, however after racking up 1000 listening hours within a year, I sold it due to tube replacement cost on the horizon of at least $3,500.

I now have the Classe Delta Monos that I absolutely love.  The are musical, holographic, have more bass, and extend the sound stage better than both of the ARC tube amps.  600 watts @ 4 ohm is more than enough power yes but it's also 35 watts of Class A that in my opinion bets the competition under $30,000 in the solid state amp market.  True bi-wiring of the amp brought another step up in performance in the upper mid and high end.

Good luck on your journey but I will be keeping the Delta monos for a very long time as they hit all of the key attributes.  Demo the Delta stero as the only trade-off that I experience was "some" of the sweetness/soul that tubes bring but I don't think I'd ever go back to tubes again with the biasing and tube replacement.  Look at Coda if you want sweet tubelike sound but they are not as three dimensional in my opinion as the Classe.  

Congrats on a nice amp.  Hope that 75Wpc is sufficient.  

@kojo123, thanks !   To follow up what @stillbuyingtoys ariticulated, for what it’s worth, I have a huge room - living room and bar, with a super tall Cathedral ceiling.   I started out with one McIntosh Mc275 tube amp in stereo mode, then, bought another Mc275 and switched them both to monoblock mode.  I went from 75 amps (90 tested for this amp) to 150 watts (180 tested in monoblock mode).  In my huge room, This improved my sound (dynamics, bass, sound stage, etc...) when playing at medium to loud levels.  Note: my speakers are Wilson Watt Pupply 8, not Sonus Faber.   After this experience, I am partial to powerful tube monoblocks. 

Right now I use an Audio Research Reference 6SE... before that lower earlier models and before that lower tiered models. My friend who is using a VT 80 has an Audio Research LS28SE... a perfect match for the VT 80. Used is good to lover price or LS27... LS26... to lower cost going back further.
