Need some expert advice

Hello all !!
I currently own the foll set up:
Marantz CD 7300
Marantz PM 7200 amp
Dyn 122s

Somehow I am not happy and I am positive it is because of the amp. I think the speakers are far too honest for the bright marantz IMHO.

Anyways I wanted to knock on the doors of you experts to check out the best match for the dyns - what in your opinion is a nice AMP for the 122s. I loved the NAD c372 with the 122s but unfortunately that amp is oop. My budget is around 700-800$. Please let me know your suggestions.

Thanks,
Ananth

Dynaudio's love power. I have heard nothing but good about the Odyessy Audio Khartago, $895 new,at 120 wpc, voted best affordable amp of the year in Absolute Sound, for what it's worth. Speaker cables can make a big difference with Dynaudio as well, see if you can spring for some used Synergistic Research middle-of-the-line cables from the last (not the current, due to cost) designs, and I think you'll be much happier.

Regards,
Dan

p.s., if I'm not mistaken, the Khartgo is made in the USA.

I know a guy who's continually upgrading his Dyn's to better Dyn's and always uses NAD. That makes me happy as I've always loved the NAD house sound. I have a NAD 317 80 watt integrated amp and I compared it to a 200 watt Rotel and the NAD spanked it really hard. Quite honestly I was flabbergasted. The worst part about it was that I also owned the Rotel (not anymore).
