Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri


Need a good advise here since the possibility of listen before i buy is limited. No hard-rock fan, else all kind of music. On my short list at the moment are Pathos (Classic), Sugden, BAT, Creek, Edge, Lavardin, CJ.

I'm in love with my Blue Circle NSCS. I'm not much on waxing poetic odes regarding this unit. However I do feel its even better sounding than what the reviews have stated.
I bought it sound unheard. (Shame on me!)
It does takes a LONG time to break-in. And I have to admit prior to owning the unit I thought break-in was a bunch of hooey.
To think I have so few dollars wrapped-up in innerconnects and spealer wire... Wonder how it would sound with some cash thrown at wires?
McIntosh MA6900 or the NAD Master Series M3. The Sonus Fabers really need considerably more power than their efficiency suggests. The Mac MA2275 is also quite viable, but I the autoformer MA6900 solid state integrated is synergistic with the Sonus Faber.

Ive heard the Gryphon Diablo integrated with the new amati anniversario.....
beautiful result.!!!!!!
I am using the McIntosh MA6900 Integrated Amplifier and the McIntosh MCD205 CD Player with my Sonus Faber Grand Piano Speakers. The MA6900 makes the system more dynamic and open. The imaging is excellent and I was surprised at the amount of bass. Once the system was broken in, my friends were surprised at how good the system sounded. These speakers require high power to sound good since my previous amp was the BOW Wazoo Integrated at 50wpc. I agree with the above post that Sonus Faber Speakers need considerably more power than their efficiency implies. I suggest you borrow the MA6900 amp (and others) and try it out. Using the amp in your home is the only way to decide. cheers...
