Is Accuphase a good match for my system?

I am considering changing to Accuphase amplification for my system.

While I have never heard Accuphase amplification and do not have an opportunity to do so, I admire their products and would like to add if a good match.

The system currently matches an Esoteric F-07 integrated with Sonus Faber Cremona M’s, and is further described in my profile.  The F-07 is great, and I might also consider moving up the Esoteric line as an alternative.

Questions:

1) What differences might I hear from making a change to Accuphase?

2) Which Accuphase components (integrated or separates) might be a good match for the Cremona’s?

Thanks in advance for insights and recommendations.

i have not heard the esoteric or super high grade teac electronics for a long time, and it has also been quite a few years since i heard the cremona m's

with that said, i would venture that pairing accuphase with this speaker will be quite warm and very smooth up top thru the mids, with quite a bit of midrange 'bloom', and strong bass response.... relative to 'dead neutral' i would suspect the presentation to be definitely on the 'dark' side... which may be a positive attribute for a listener if they have a lively room or they like the music uber smooth and rich sounding, if perhaps at somewhat at the expense of a great sense of transparency and air/sparkle to the presentation
