Int amp and Dynaudios

For all of you Dynaudio owners, and there are plenty of you

Apparently there aren't plenty of them. Either that or they're not here.

Srz888, in my experience Musical Fidelity pairs very well with Dynaudio
speakers. However, as you can imagine, there are many more brands that pair
very well with Dynaudio, e.g. Plinus, Pass Labs, Accuphase, Octave and Sim
Audio (in no particular order).

I am not so sure about the NAD recommended above. The reason is that some
years ago I have compared a Musical Fidelity A5 amp (2500 euros back then)
with a NAD M3 (3500 euros or more back then) both driving a pair of
Dynaudio Contour S1.4 speakers. The A5 literally moped the floors with the
NAD. (On other more efficient speakers the NAD was a bit more detailed than
the A5 but the NAD was simply not fit enough to drive the Dyns.)

Regarding the power requirements, be aware that quality is much more
important than quantity. I have driven the Dynaudio C1 speakers very very
nicely with a 30 (class A) watts (in 8 ohms) Accuphase integrated. There are a
few other people here that use similar "small" integrated or power amps.
(Look for posts by Xti16, Kzhtoo and also at my review of C1 vs Micro Be for
more info.)

My neighbor is using an Audio Flight One with his, and it's a nice pairing. When we tried my Ayon Triton with it, things got a bit fat sounding. I'd have to say that fast, clean solid state is a better pairing than tubes with the C1's.

Krell kav500i,just later bought dynaudio contour s1.4 and confidence c1.Why? because dyns were known like not harsh sounding speakers and demanding power.Better say powerfull sounding amplifier which makes dyns rock.For example driving contour s1.4 with 50watts technics amp su-a700mk2,to boost or adjust midrange and bass I use equalizer

Extravaganza are you saying the Krell KAV 500i is a poor match with Dynaudio?
