Best amp for Sonus Faber
@lalitak that is why I said mostly. I try to add my experience as we are able to listen to so much equipment and can offer very good experience to help others. Our repair and listening facility has in general over 20 amps, preamps, DACs, phono s...

Best amp for Sonus Faber
Plenty of advice above my post.  Mostly from people who do not own a Sonus speaker.  We own the Stradivari speakers.  We are a manufacturer of audio components and a repair facility so we have heard so many amplifiers on these speakers.  If you ar... 
God, I hate to ask this…
So sorry to hear about your illness.  I just got out of the hospital and had my gall bladder removed.  I own an audio manufacturing and repair company.  So much stuff that we have a dedicated music and repair facility.  I also have a ton of guitar...

Old SS amps
@bdp24 that old BEL amplifier is an excellent amp.  It produces a slightly warm overall musical sound with pretty good details, high and low end extension.  We compared it to a few modern day amps and it was the winner for producing overall musica... 
Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT
The HP filters are easy-peasy to set-up.  Any dealer can assist you or Vandersteen directly.  We used our preamp and amplifier on them and placed them almost up against the wall for WAF.  The sound amazing when matched with the correct components....
