I use a Parasound Halo A-23 amp, fed by a Transporter, to power my Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor speakers. The sound quality is superb, but the amp isn't cheap ($949 USD). http://parasound.com/halo/a23.php http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=PAHA23 -- Ron Olsen

As far as T-amps go - I have the Winsome labs Mouse. - two of them actually. Great little amp for $300. 45 WPC. You can tweak them to sound really great, but sound very good stock. Super reliable and very small. Fits in your hand. Jay at Winsome is very good to deal with as well. -- earwaxer
