Best amp for Sonus Faber


Which integrated amp do you believe is the best match for Sonus Faber Olympica Nova (and why)?

Currently using Luxman 509Z - and have just bought Olympica Nova III. 
 

I’ve heard a lot of different views: Hegel, Accuphase, McIntosh etc  

Keen to hear thoughts and experiences - and any which a big mismatches too!

@lalitak that is why I said mostly.

I try to add my experience as we are able to listen to so much equipment and can offer very good experience to help others.

Our repair and listening facility has in general over 20 amps, preamps, DACs, phono stages in each month to compare with various speakers.  Actually, we are always learning new things and can share those experiences.

I have always welcomed anyone to come to visit us in New Jersey to hear what we hear and learn as we do.

Happy Listening.  

Plenty of advice above my post.  Mostly from people who do not own a Sonus speaker.  We own the Stradivari speakers.  We are a manufacturer of audio components and a repair facility so we have heard so many amplifiers on these speakers.  If you are looking for an integrated amplifier I would start with the Line Magnetics.  It has great transformers which is where the music starts.  Recently we have heard the Niagara mono blocks and an older VAC Ren 30/30 300B. The VAC stereo amp made for a most enjoyable listening experience.  The Niagara had a little more heft/weight to the sound but the VAC was simply more enjoyable.

Happy Listening.
