Sonus Faber Sonetto III and...

[Okra]

Hey peeps,
A pair of Sonus Faber Sonetto III will be here Sat. Currently my amp is an Arcam SA20 integrated. I've never owned 4 ohm speakers and for all I know the Arcam will hold it's own with these. I'm hoping to hear from someone that owns or has some history with these speakers and what success or failure you've had with amp pairing.

Amp specs:

• Class G / 20 Watts in pure Class A
• 90 watts RMS into 8-ohms
• 150 watts into 4 ohms

Speaker specs:

• 42-25k Hz Frequency Response
• 89 dB Sensitivity
• Impedance: 4ohms
• Power Range: 50-250watts

I have the little brother Sonetto II in my secondary system that uses a Rotel RA-1572 120 wpc integrated amp without issue. Although I'm not familiar with your Arcam amp, marketing and reviews claim that it can adequately drive speakers down to 4 Ohms. All Sonus faber speakers are at their best with amps that can deliver high current when needed. Let your speakers break in a bit and see how they do with your Arcam. They're fine speakers to build a nice system around.

I appreciate the input!
