Amps for Dynaudio Confidence 5s?

I am a big Classe fan and would recommend the Classe amp (but do listen to the Krell too, they are both great, just different) but would NOT recommend the Classe preamp. Classe is much better at amps than at preamps. I use an Adcom GFP-750 and am very happy with it, but there are plenty of good pre's out there.

I have the Confidence 5 as well. I am using the Mccormack DNA2 deluxe with BAT VK40 with pretty good result.

Agree about the midrange dome, I'm designing speakers that use them.

I have been using the Audience and now the Contours speakers. One amp I can comment: Plinius!! I've used the 8150i and have no problems driving the small 1.1's. However, with the Confidence 5, I advise you to get the SA250IV if you can afford it and if you have a big living room. Nonetheless, the Plinius and DYnaudios are match made in heaven. For speaker cables, try the Analysis Plus Oval 9's. Its great!

My thanks to everyone for your thoughts. Krell too expensive. McCormack not available. The winner is... Classe CP-60 preamp and CA-401 amp.Was going to go w/ another preamp ( non-Classe') until I heard the 60. Sounds much better than 47.5 and 50 I had heard ( maybe due to remote power supply)combo sounds excellent. Thanks again for your input.
