Default Sonus Faber Guarneri's and Jadis JA 30Mk2

I am looking forward to receiving my new pair of Jadis JA 30Mk2 mono blocks next week.
Having used my SF GH's with Rowland model 8T's and with an ARC D70M2, I am hoping for a more resolved and 'updated' presentation.
Anyone else have any experience with this Jadis combo? Or with SF G's ( Momentum's, Evo's etc).

Another question, has anyone hooked up a REL subwoofer to mono block amps...is it really necessary to have two (2) subs when using mono blocks?

I've had very briefly the Jadis 100 in my system and it definitely was an upgrade compared to the Manley I had at the time. You should be very happy with the Jadis.

Ultimately I decided to stick with the Manley, mainly because it wasn't the right time for me to upgrade. Still it was one of the best tube amp I heard until the Halgorythme (which I ended up getting this time).

Well the Jadis JA 30Mk2's and the SF GH's are a match made in heaven! The new KT150 tubes really make the SF speakers come alive!
I had a little issue with matching up a power cord for the amps, they are very picky as to what works and what doesn't; however, after some experimentation, I am using the truly excellent Audio ART SE cables with the superb Furutech connectors! This combo is so far producing sound that is far and above anything else I have had in my system!
Along with running two(2) REL subs, I am pretty pleased...at the moment, LOL.

Very nice looking system. The Jadis with the chrome are gorgeous to look at and compliment the look of the SF perfectly.

I'm sure sound wise, it's a great match as well.

SF loves tubes IMO
