What tube amp mates well with Sonus Faber Amati's?

I have recently purchased a pair of Sonus Faber Amati's and have not yet decided on an amp. One of the amps I have considered are the Cary 805c's however i was told the bass may be a bit defficient. The speakers are 92db efficient and are rated nominally at 4 ohms. The lowest dip is to 2.9 ohms. I would appreciate any thoughts on the Cary/Sonus Faber combination or any other amplification suggestions regarding this speaker. Thank you

Art Audio Adagio monoblock with KR KT100 ( 60 watts of paralelled single-ended power )
with NBS Omega cabling ( better bass control than Siltech mentioned
elsewhere ) should drive Amati without the bass deficiency.

when i had amatis,i tried many amps.
my best chice was komuro second was lamm ml1(now ml1.1).i did not like to much vac sig.140/140 after komuro and lammm with amatis.(cat also must be wonderfull amps for amatis)
i think also that goldmund (as a ss).and tenor new hybrid must be excellent choice for this speakers.
for cables.
first choose your amps than you will try to find best match cable

I power a pair of SOnus faber GUarneri Homage with a Cary 805 C and teh sound is magical with PLENTY of bass. MORE bass than when I used a Mcintosh 602 600WPC SS amp. Ive had about a dozen amps over the past 4 years and the 805C amps are the best Ive ever heard. I also use a Cary SLP98P pre and SCD-1 for CD. I am using NBS Omega II speaker cables.

The GUarneri's are harder to drive than the Amatis being 87db so the 805C should make the Amatis sing!
