Have heard the Vitus very dynamic aND great sounding. Have heard a LOT of MAC gear over the years and it has NEVER impressed me, lack of dynamics and no body.
Integrated Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolution
I just purchased second hand SF Guarneri Evo's. They are the nicest looking stand mounted speakers I've seen.
I'm currently driving them with a NAD M33 and I think it is not the right match for them. There is no dynamics and they sound thin to me. I think these speaker have a lot more potential.The speakers are 4 ohms with a sensitivity of 86db. I listen to jazz, blues, instrumental and classical mostly.
My room is about 13 by 17 ft.. I have a Bluesound streamer and a Denafrips Ares II DAC.
I'm open to suggestions or recommendations for a nice Integrated Amp. I have a $10-12K budget. I rather buy it used, since I think I get a better value. I live in the Los Angeles area.
Thanks.

+1 @mattmiller McIntosh is made for Sonus! |
Another vote for McIntosh. Consider an MA352. 200wpc into 8 ohms, vacuum tube pre with SS power. Can’t imagine how @rsf507 heard a lack of dynamics and body from any MAC amp. |
I think the folks at McIntosh would beg to differ "McIntosh is made for Sonus faber" maybe Sonos. In the past I have had great results with Simuadio both with separates and integrated. I have had mediocre results with Sf speakers with McIntosh integrated and hybrid amplification. Moved from Sf to Sonner a few years ago, pairing with amplification has been much easier. FWIW, IMHO, EHAO, OALAH. |
