I absolutely enjoyed the C1's when I owned them awhile back. They surely need a lot of power as I recall to get the most out of them. I didn't use them with tubes, but with a Belles 350a Reference, which was a great combo. I'd recommend a x250.5, or x350.5 Pass amp. The .5's aren't as lean sounding, they are a bit more tube-like in presentation. I had a Pass x250 mated with Dynaudio 3.4's, and that was one of the best set-ups I've owned. Then dynamics of that combination was outstanding, my only nit was that is was a bit lean sounding which, again, I believe was addressed with the .5 models.
Amp to drive Dynaudio C-1
I'm currently running an ARC VT-100mkIII but it runs out of juice when you are pushing it. I have been told that pass amps sound great and they give a tubelike quality. I would like to stay with tubes but for the power I need it is going to be too pricey. Your suggestions are welcome.
