Dynaudio C2 with Plinius 9200


G'day all

I would like to ask the advice of fellow Dynaudio/Plinius owners and fans.

I am considering upgrading my speakers to Dynaudio C2's and im wondering wether my Plinius 9200 would be adequate to drive them or would i need to upgrade to a bigger Plinius amp.

My room is approx 15' x 18' and i generally only listen at low to moderate volumes so will the 9200 still give me the kick??

Thanks very much

I think Plinius 9200 will drive these speakers purely from power perspective. Not optimally, but it will. I would not worry about that from the get-go. But in a long run, you should know that Dynaudio speakers like power.

Does Plinius mate well with Dynaudio sonically?
That is a different story. If we are talking integrated amps, I would rather pair the Dyns with a Krell integrated than with the Plinius. I think Krell amps are a good match with Dynaudio. Dyns are one of the few speakers with which I would most likely not hesitate to use the Krell amplification. But that's just me. Or a new Pass Labs integrated amp, the INT-150, I think would mapir nicely with the Dyns, but may be a bit on a smooth, relaxed side as well.

Anyway, if you like and want to C2s, go for it. You can always try a different amp with them at a later point. The most important thing you should decide is whether or not Dynaudio C2 is the speaker you like and want. That would be more important than worying about an amp. You should buy amp for the speakers. Not speakers for the amp.
Dkzzzz

I would encourage you to listen to more components before making general observations. It will do you well.

Happy listening.
I dont care what you folks read in brochures printed by manufacturer and in stereo mag reviews : Esostar tweeter Wee- wee or Meee God!!!. I have a pair of ears and I can hear what type of junk Dynaudio puts out. It is your loss if you cannot hear how boomy and out of phase that speaker is. Perhaps they make some super-expensive or rare model that was designed well, I did not hear it.
If you like soft, blanketed sound and strive to match bad speaker with bad amp for warm bloomy crap to come out, then Dynaudio C Co are perfect as any other box for such experiments.
You all need to step away form your keyboards go buy a ticket to a local symphony hall and listen to live performance for a change . re-set your ears. You clearly have been in audiophile-land for way too long.

P.S. I would not recommend to use Krell KAV for 2-channel sound. Krell KAV is one of the worst amplifiers I have ever heard.
Dkzzzz - You seem to bash everything. Do you like anything other than ATC active speakers... or is everything else garbage in your opinion?

Also, you never responded to my question from a few days ago... what does your system consist of (amp, pre, source(s), cables, speakers? I'd like to know.
