Hate to tell you but the bright, thin sound is part of the sound of the Sonus Faber Home series of speakers. They are voiced for home theater and their character is very different than the Classic series. The Sim I-5 (and the Magnum Dynalab) are a very neutral sounding amps but you will never mistake them for tubes. But like you say, the Home series really do need a warm tube amp to sound their best and with the proper match (Cj/Rogue) they can sound pretty good.
Krell or Classe Integrated for Sonus Faber Concert
I AM LOOKING FOR AN INTEGRATED AMP FOR MY SONUS FABER CONCERTOS. CURRENTLY I AM USING A BRYSTON B-60, AND I THINK MY SPEAKERS NEED MORE THEN 60 WATTS, AND I NEED A REMOTE CONTROL. I AM BETWEEN A KRELL KAV-300I AND A CLASSE CAP-101/151. CAN SOMEBODY RECOMEND WICH OF THIS AMPS WORKS BETTER WITH SONUS FABER SPEAKERS. MY CD PLAYER IS A REGA PLANET 2000 AND MY CABLES ARE AUDIOQUEST VIPER (RCA) AND SLATE.
