Amp for Sonus Faber Elipsa SE

Amp for Sonus Faber Elipsa SE

Thor- TPA-150- any thoughts
I had both the Thor preamp and TPA-30 amps. Holy cow! They were expensive but were amazing sounding gear. Full, 3D, sweet, powerful, huge soundstage, and almost perfect balance. I only sold them to go up the line but the company changed hands and ...
