Title: Amp match for Sonus Faber grand piano
Post by: Maestro on Oct 30, 2017 at 06:36 PM

Hi, i am not an audiophile but my brother will be sending me his old pair of Sonus Faber grand piano. What is a good matching amp for this and how much?

If i keep it within 50k, what are my options?

I am thinking of the Rotel RA-1572 (over budget) but i will have to save up for the difference...

Thanks

The Sonus Faber Grand Piano is very dark sounding, most likely because of the Heavy Bass.
It is best matched for a lively and bright sounding AMP to get the highs.
I have the same speaker and my best match is the Plinius.
Emotiva is also ok but lacks the control of the Plinius and is lacking on mid-range.

Hope this helps.

At 50K the EMOTIVA may be the only option.

Plinius P10 Power AMP https://www.whathifi.com/plinius/p10/review
The Sonus Faber Grand Piano is VERY HARD to drive and needs a powerful AMP.

Maenjoy talaga. Ask your brother ano use nya amp to drive it? Hingin mo na din hehe. Pero mapakanta mo or hindi, sa looks department pa lang ayos na ayos na. One of the best looking speakers
