Best Amp For Dynaudio Contour 3.3 Speakers

Currently, this is my system:
CONRAD JOHNSON 2500A AMP 240 into 8, 450 into my 4 ohm speakers.
CONRAD JOHNSON 17 PREAMP
CARY 306 CD PLAYER
DYNAUDIO CONTOUR 3.3 SPEAKERS-VERY POWER HUNGRY

I am thinking about the following possibilities so far-Simaudio W-10 Monoblocks, or Conrad Johnson is coming out with a new Premier amp called the SA 350 which will be 350 into 8 and 700 into 4 ohms. I am really interested in what other people who have the Dynaudio 3.3 speakers are using for amps and anyone who has suggestions as to what might be a great match to my speakers.

At my dealer the est sound I have heard from the big Dyns was the Plinius SA-250 and Blue Circle BC26

I have used a Krell KSA 200s with the Dynaudio 3.3's with great success. You can buy a KSA 200s on eBay or Audiogon for about $2600 and they sold new for $7900. This is a wonderful amplifier, beautiful to look at and built like a tank. I am using the same amp to drive Dynaudio C-5's with spectacular results. Just buy the Krell KSA 200s, you will thank me. Don't buy the KSA 300s, it is a different animal and takes forever to warm up. The KSA 200s warms up in about 5 minutes. Good luck.

I wouldn't pair the Dyns with the Sim, per a good dealer friend of mine.

I would look into Plinius, Spectron, and Krell.

The CJ may be too soft for these speakers--
