Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage and Solid State

I have always been intrigued by these speakers. My concern is that I have solid state equipment and owners seem to recommend tubes. Wondering if anyone is happily using solid state equipment with the Guarneri?
I am using a Chord CPM4000E preamp and a Chord SPM1200E amp rated at 350 watts per channel at 8 ohm.
Thanks

I am using Guarneris in a second system driven by a Krell 300R and a Krell CDP with very satisfactory results. I think this speaker is really quite flexible in terms of amplification but I have no familiarity with the Chord; you certainly have enough power. The SF factory uses Krell amps (probably among others).

I use a Sonus Faber Musica to drive my Concerto (MK 1 model) speakers. The Musica is a lovely, powerful 50wpc solid state amp which Sonus Faber uses to design and test their speakers. Synergy with the concertos is excellent, and I have heard they do wonders with the Guarneris.
