Sonus Faber GP + cj 2250

It is more than enough power to drive the Sonus Faber GP's and should sound nice. My Cary SLI-80 drives my GP's with ease in the 40WPC mode. I listen to Rock at moderate to moderately loud volumes in a medium sized listening room.. The CJ signature sound with the Sounus should be nice. Don't get hung up on the WPC channel game. By an amplifier that sounds good to you. Good luck..

yhea I was thinking along those line WPC does mean different things for different amp. I was kind of concered when people in some old threads mentioned using Macintosh 6900, or Krell 400Xi becuase of their high power. I guess I wont know until I try them out.

Thank you,

Ven,

You are welcome and the CJ is certainly a nice amplifier. I can tell you that the following amplification works with the Sonus Fabers as I have owned 3 Pair now with multiple set ups. Electrocompaniet, Creek, Cary, and Unison Research. (These are all integrateds) I think the Mac would sound nice but I would personally stay away from the Krell stuff. They just don't sound "right" to me. Good luck!

I perused the SF web site and if I was looking at the correct specs the GP's are 90db with a 4 ohm nominal impedence. IMO the 2250 would be bare minimum and the better choice would be the 2500. In either case make sure you get the "A" version of the amp as it is much better than the npn "A". CJ offers the upgrade for $500 + shipping. The "A" has better dynamics and detail than the non "A" model and is very much worth the extra money.

yhea I am looking at 2250A, I guess I will need to audition both 2250A, and 2500a and pick one.

Thank you,
