selection of amp to drive DYNAUDIO C1

hi guys,was wondering which amp should perform the best for my set up,i'm open for your suggestion but will spend max for $3k,thank u all!
here what my mind:
BRYSTON 4B SST
PARASOUND A 21
PLINIUS 102 OR simple INT 9200
PASS LABS X250
i like all kind music especially with vocal,the amp later will match with dac/pre either bel canto DAC3 or benchmark DAC
cheers

I've heard the Plinius 102 with Harbeths - what a sweet combination - I think it's a very sweet amplifier.

I second the Plinius SA-102. I used it in combination with an Aesthetix Calypso preamp when I owned Dyn. C2's & C4's to good effect. Would also recommend you try a higher powered tube amp if you are comfortable with moving beyond a solid state amp. I've been unable to return to solid state amps since trying tube amps.
