Best Integrated for Sonus Faber


Hi,

I am in search for a complete 2 channel System and have ended with Totem and Sonus Faber as the speakers of choice. Can you please let me know some choices for SF Grand Piano and SF Concerto Domus ( floor standers ) that have the best system synergy:

1. Best SS Integrated

2. Best all tube Integrated

3. Best Hybrid Integrated

Room size is 16 x 16 x 8. I like lush mid-range with sweet sounding vocals, instruments and jazz...I can say I like tubes.

Thanks
Rakesh

if you like a tube like sound out of solid state gear, take a listen to the Chord cpm 2600 integrated. Chord gear is used to master all recordings in the Abbey Road studios in the UK -- a fantastic maker of fine amps. see link below

I sold my McIntosh 6900 Integrated to finance the purchase
of a Primaluna Prologue 2 ($1300) and have never looked back.
I can sincerely say, I wouldn't swap for a brand new 6900 if
offered.
Hi,

Can Primalune Prologue 2 drive these SG Grand Piano Domus Speakers ? I think it has only 40 watts/channel

There is a simple solution for your needs and one integrated that CLEARLY cream all the options offered above - the DK Design Group VS-1 Reference Mk. 3 or the Signature. It is perfect for driving Totems and Sonus Fabers.

Here is why:

1. The DK has enormous power output, 800W into 1 ohm before clipping.
2. Perfect square wave response at 1kHz, therefore very accurate midrange reproduction.
3. Incredible dynamics - your Sonus Fabers will sing like never before and dissapear into a 3D soundstage.
4. The DK has a tube pre-amp section creating very nice dimesionality and smoothness, but without sacraficing dynamics and impact.
5. I challange you compare the DK to any of the above mentioned integrateds. It will totally smoke them.
