Hey, the OP is looking for something that fits his scenario. Yes the speakers will not exhibit what they are capable of however it sounds (no pun) like the Vidar fits his needs.
Budget Amp for Sonus Faber
A bit of an odd request here so bear with me.
I have a pair of Sonus Faber Guarneri Traditions and currently have a Parasound A23 amp.
I mainly want to get a different amp because my table isn't big enough to fit the Parasound and frankly I think it looks pretty bland.
I'm in the camp of all reasonably well made amps sound the same, so really just looking for a small footprint but also very attractive / clean looking amp that will fit on my table. Ideally footprint of no more than 12 X 12 inches.
Tube or SS doesn't really matter. Would like to spend under $1000 but can stretch to $2000 if needed. Just need at least 50W.
