Sonus Faber GP + cj 2250

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

Thank you,

They will both have the same sonic signiture it is just that the 2500 will have more bottom end and even at low volume levels will control the SF's better. The higher current driving capacity of the 2500 will give more substance to the music at all frequencies. It is not the 90 db sensitivity that creates the issue for the 2250 it is the 4 ohm nominal impedence.

Which Grand Pianos do you have or are you looking at? They all vary and we can be discussing different speakers.

Grand Pianos (Original)87dB/8ohm
Grand Pianos (HOME)90dB/6ohm
Grand Pianos (DOMUS)90dB/4ohm

I am talking about the Grand Pianos Home.

Okay, then I would definately try both amps as they are not a difficult speaker to drive. The new Domus would be a little more challenging as the 4ohm load. Take a look at my system, I own them and my Cary drives them with ease. Not to mention they sound incredible.

I will also let you in a on a little secret that took me purchasing numerous amplifiers to learn. Smaller amplifiers actually SOUND BETTER..

Some of the worst systems I have heard had MONDO amplication by some of the bigger names in audio. I owned a CJ MF-80 for a short stint with a PV-10 Pre-Amp and it was truly musical and would drive every speaker I threw at it. 80 WATTS GOES A LONG WAY..

Good luck...
