What is the best amp for Sonus Faber Cremonas?


I currently am driving the Cremonas with a Mac MC402. I find the Mac amp to be too dark with too much bass. (The speakers are well positioned out into the room.) I recently auditioned an Accuphase A-30 class A amp compared to a pair of Mac MC501's with Wilson Sophias and thought the Accuphase was far more musical and detailed. I never would have thought a 30 watt amp into 8 ohm (60 watts into 4 ohms) would be so effective. I am concerned about using this amp in my room which is 25' x 20'. My speakers have an impedence of 4 ohm with a sensitivity of 90db. I am using a the Mac C2200 tube preamp, but I would be willing to switch it out as well.

I am rather new to the high end audiophile hobby, but would one think tht the SF musica would be specifically made to go with any of the SF speakers? Alternatively, for something like the Cremona, would a tube set produce better sound, as was told to me by a salesperson at harvey's (who ahd the SF hooked up to the McIntosh tube amplifier. Just a thought. Alan
