I would think their 30 watts are adequate for the Cremonas, and I would guess the match would be terrific. Reviewers at Positive Feedback rated their system 'best of show' at CES. Art Audio is coming out with a dual-mono stereo 845 amp for less money, and Art products are terrific...that's what I've got!

Haven't heard the ASL Hurricane, or the DeHavilland, but I liked these more than the Cary, they had more 'bloom.' Until I built my own amps, the Smart 845 had permanent home in my system!
