Wilson Maxx 2 vs Sonus Faber Stradivari

I listened to the Maxx and SF Elipsa before, but not to the SF Strad. However competition for the Maxx is probably the Strad and definitely not Elipsa. What I like about Sonus Faber design is the soulfulness. The Strad also has 4-ohm impedance with 92 dB sensitivity, meaning no need to replace my Pass XA60.5 which I very and very much enjoy. Does anybody have comment on those 2 speakers as to price to performance advantage? Secondly would it be too much to drive pretty Strad with the more gentle side of amplification such as Pass Labs design and Acoustic Zen Satori speaker cable.

Hi, now living with my second pair of Strad´s and here are the list of amplifiers i´ve tried on:

Krell Evo 402
McIntosh MC-602
2 x Accuphase A-60 in bridged mono
2 x Accuphase A-45 in bridged mono

In my ears there is only one of them who actually can deliver together with Stradivari....

There and then the MC-602 was nearly a perfect fit with Stradivari in my ears.
At second came the A-45´s, at third the A-60´s and
then the Evo 402.....
