Amp to drive Dynaudio C-1

Pass is a good choice. A good Class D like better Spectron and Bel Canto models is the other option I would consider. Bel Canto ref1000M monoblocks sound great with my lesser Dyns as they do with my much larger power and current hungry OHMs in a much larer room. No overkill whatsover. ref500M models would probably do very well also with Dyn C-1s.

I have heard the C-1's at my local Dynaudio dealer many times with a plethora of different amps, no combination sounding better than the current one of C-1's and Audia Flight integrated amplifier. Not sure if it's the model one or two. Fanatastically killer combo with the newest Shunyata signal cables and power products. I was blown away. I have always liked the C-1's a lot, but I have never heard them sound better.

C-1's are great, and I have heard them sound tremendously impressive with Gamut mono blocks. If I had C-1's, that's where I would go.

I ran Dynaudio Contour S1.4 with McCormack amps and it was very good. Fast, clean, nuetral and musical. The dealer carried McCormack and CJ in addition to Sim Audio. I have heard all three thru the Dyns and all are more than capable.
