Sonus Faber Guaneri Homage or Extremas?

I'm not sure Mac makes an amp that will get the best out of the Extremas.

I agree with Daveyf if you must stay with Mac. That said, I think you are doing yourself a great disservice by painting yourself into a box with just one manufacturer for an amp. FWIW, a friend of mine had a 402 (as have I) and he replaced it with the 60th commemorative 75's and they easily excelled the 402.

I'd also like to note that my experience with Mac is that it is a bit soft in the bass.

Dave you are right, I meant to say not as transparent than the Guaneris. I will try a newer Mc amp as opposed to the 352 and if that doesnt work out I will just branch out else where.

slowly but surely this whole thing will work itself out, thanks for all the constructive criticism.

Oops, meant to say would NOT trade bass for the greater transparency and truth to source that the GH's bring to the table.

BTW, it is not that difficult to add bass to the GH's if needed. Any good sub would do..:0) OTOH, adding greater transparency to the E's, well that's a different story..:0(
