Need integrated amp for Sonus Faber Concertos

does anybody have experience with this combo,Conrad Johnson Sonographe SA-250 & SC-26, will they work good with sonus faber speakers. because i am getting a very good deal ($1330 for both new) on this equipment.
thanks

Definately add the YBA Integre or Integre DT to your list. Beautiful sounding integrateds! With the Concertos and the planet, this might be a great choice. Listen first of course and bring your own cables and interconnects if you can't demo at home.

Hello. I used to own Sonus Faber Concertinos and drove them with a Simaudio Moon I-5. It was a pretty good combo. The Concertinos are full and warm and seemed to compliment the lean nature of the I-5, so that the overall balance wasn't to far in either direction. Good source and cable matching is a must.

I have just completed what you are beginning. With the same taste in music and similar speakers, the SF Concertinos. I am not going to tell you what I chose. It is important that you discover your own listening. But, I will tell you what I believe to be great candidates:
Arcam 85A
Classe CAP 151
Music Fidelity 300
Electrocompaniet EI3 (one presently going for 1,300 on site)
SimAudio I-5
YBA Integre DT

IMPORTANT NOTE: These models are the latest versions and they are going to exceed your budget. But, it is probably the only way you will be able audition them unless a friend has the earlier model. That is what you want to go after when your ears have made their decision. For example, the Classe CAP 151, changed very little since its predecessor highly touted 150. Each of the Int's will bring a different quality/dynamic to your ears and your music. Much will be influenced by the interconnects and cables that are used. Try to have the store where you audition replicate your speakers as much as possible. WARNING: DO NOT BUY ON HERESAY. Good Luck...Happy Hunting.

Here is an example of what I meant by finding a earlier model year. This is a YBA Integre DT with remote whose essential design and circuitry has not changed since it first came out in 1997. The current price for it would be 2650 new... but here 1998 model in excellent condition is within your budget. Mind you should spend time listening and auditioning to ints before you buy. Hot deals come up all the time if you are patient.
