This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in.

I am buying Dynaudio C-1 Platinums and would like an ideal amp. Which would you choose? I prefer solid state. Separates or integrated. If you could recommend a few optimum choices that would be great. Based on my short couple years on here you strike me as very knowledgable on the subject. My dealer wants me on Pass Labs. Incidentally right now I have the Devialet 400 and I’m pretty sure you are not a fan of this type of amp. Any of your wisdom is appreciated. Thanks, Mike

I can change the gain of that amp for about $10. No idea why I'd want to since it's all the gain I need. I see you've given up trying to technically justify your silliness. Forgive me if I'm not interested in a volume that doubles as a tone control.

Your forgiven, the day will come for you, till then you'll just have to live with what you have, because in your own words, you have not known any better.

Oh.... They're better.... That's why nobody uses them! This from the guy who claims only BJT's can deliver current. Why is a volume that doubles as a tone control better?

More current, not only. I’m over you, you’re really showing your ignorance now, good luck and goodbye.

Pure nonsense. MOSFETs are square law devices less prone to thermal runaway with much high gate impedance. Maybe a single big package can move more, but the penalty for paralleling devices is minor and that's done with BJT's in most practical amplifiers anyways. Glad we're done with this.
