Dynaudio C1 + Mcintosh 275 amp, do they match?

i used the mc275 with passive gradient revolutions, and the hungry speakers did just fine...nearly as well as the mac 602...the 275 one of those rare products that more than deserves its reputation.

Dynaudios really should be run with Solid state electronics. They're not really made for tubes. Sim is a very good match.

Well, Chip Stern, who wrote a frothing-at-the-mouth rave review of the C1, used Rogue tube monoblocks with them.

I was at my local Dynaudio dealer (Pearl Audio, Portland OR) and was told the 275 would be a great match for the C1. They are also a McIntosh dealer and seemed very knowledgeable. He advised running two in mono if I go with the C2. My bet is you could even run the C4's in a medium sized room. Incidentally, I fell in love with the Confidence C4 ... man, what a sound. My long term plan is two MC-275's and a pair of C2's. The C4 is just a bit out of my sanity range.

I heard C1s with a Mac 275 at a dealer. My Clayton S-40 (all of 50 watts) did a much better job. Just as musical with more strength, power, speed, and control, particularly from the mids on down. My room is 15' x 20' x 8'. The pre I was using was a A.I. L2. I've also heard these speakers with a VTL 150. IMO it did not cut it either.
