The 8950 is a good match with the Amator III. Those speakers need clean power and you'll see that with most content played at generous volumes the meter barely hits 20 watts.
current and ex-Sonus faber & McIntosh integrated amp (combo) owners - question for you
Do you drive your sonus faber speakers with a steady-state integrated amp with autoformers or with the direct-coupled integrated amps?
I'd like to buy either the MA8950 or MA352 and while the specifications are available online, to compare, I don't really know what that entails in terms of sound quality :-)
I'd like to drive the Sonetto VIII G2 with them. My dealer has the MA252 and MA7200 to compare and drove the Sonetto III G2 with them. He doesn't have the other models. For my room, the larger speakers make sense and so I'd like to make an informed decision. I already placed the order for MA352 but I am doubting myself; I do have the option to cancel that and order the MA8950, though.
I know there are tons of arguments out there on autoformers vs direct-coupled but I really wanted to hear directly from the owners. Thank you.
