I have been using my Doshi Jhor amps (original versions) and Alaap full function preamp with Amati Futuras for the last 1.5 years. I love the combination. The Doshi gear were purchased to go with my Sashas and that was a great system. But the Doshi and Sonus Faber combination is even better. Before Doshi, I had Lamm and Audio Research amps and preamps.   My room is 17 X 34 X 9, and the amps drive the speakers very well in the large space.

If you want another opinion, you might call Larry Marcus at Paragon Sight & Sound. He sells Doshi and Audio Research, and also sells Sonus Faber and Wilson. He’ll give you a straight answer.

One more thing, before I bought my Sonus Faber speakers, I called Nick Doshi to ask him about what speakers he feels are excellent with his amps and he recommended Wilson (of course), Harbeth, and Sonus Faber.

If you go with the Doshi amps, I’ve had great success with Telefunken EL34 output tubes. If you want more information or want to talk, pm me or send me a separate email at daveneumann01@gmail.com
