Best integrated amp for Sonus Concerto

Why not the matching SF Musica? The walnut faceplate would sure match the matching walnut sides of the Concerto and the Musica is designed to match the Concert series.

I listened to the Concertos paired with the Plinius integrated at a shop and it sounded fantanstic. I did a home demo of the Concertos with My Musical Fidelity 50 watts per channel amp and they did not sound good at all. There was no bass control or bass clarity (one note bass) in our room. I had the same exact problem with the Linn Tukans in a home demo. Again the Tukans were listened to at the shop with the Plinius and sounded fantastic. I feel that the Plinius would be a great match for the Concertos but at $3000.00 there are a lot of other options. I suspect that the Concertos will require a high current amp (not necessarily high wattage) whether it be tube or solid state to perform their best, which does narrow it down considerably. It would be helpful if you would state your budget.

Sorry Neronian. I did not notice how old the thread was. You have probably gone through several sets of speakers and amps since August. So, what are using now, need any suggestions?

Neronian: If I may make some kind of case here.... What about the Classe CAP-151 Integrated Amplifier?? The Big Classe Integrated sounds warm, smooth and rich with the Sonus Concertos. The Classe is a 150 W/P/C High Current Integrated just in case you are interested and that kind of thing matters to you. Just a suggestion. --Charles--

Thank you for responsing to my questions. I have other problems. I have Classe Cap151, Classe Cd.3 and Sonus Concerto. I am please with my system but!! I think I need more bottom end(more bass). I am thinking to get a new pair of Sonus GrandPiano or get asubwoofer. Any suggestion?
