McIntosh C2300 tube pre & MC452 amp (if you don't have room for monoblocks). Mc and Sf were menat for each other.
I heard Elipsa briefly recently driven by Devialet. The system had a beautiful, airy laidback quality. Very easy on the ear, perhaps not as transparent as my system and definately a little loose in the bass by comparison but well worth an audition.

I have SF Elipsas. I used to drive them by plinius sb301, gamut di-150 integrated, plinius hiato, viva solista mk2, and tried also mcintosh mcd1100 cdp with mc452. They all had their own positives but I still wasn't happy with the sound, unitll I changed to krell 302E (latest) driven directly by ayon cd-5s. This combo brought the Elipsa's sound to the level I did not think even was possible. PM me for more info if you would like.
