I may be of help here.. I own a pair of 1.3se and have had several amps in my system with it. i would stay away from the tubes as they don't have enough power. having said that, a tube sound is what makes them sound best, very open and smooth. try the Sim audio gear very laid back and sound great with the 1.3se. I use to have the sim audio W3 and they were a great match. i now use musical fidelity with the 1.3 and is also very good but my my new gear was $6000 ..might be out of your price range. go with the sim audio you won't be disappointed.
Amp for Dynaudio 1.3SE's.. should I?? A question..
Here is my question gents. I currently own an Arcam AVR300. It really is a great piece. But I am thinking of getting a two channel amp just for the 1.3SE's for two channel stereo(fronts)... (I have the Contour T2.1 and rears as well)
Anyway, I really do not want to spend more than $1,500. Would I get not get much bang for the buck at this point? Will I get better perfomance than the AVR300? I am new to the audiophile world so you will have to excuse me. I was thinking of a used Aragon 2002 or something in that area. I do know that I need juice for the 1.3SE's... they eat power for breakfast. Thanks for any advice. Feel free to throw some tube stuff in there as well... (if you think its worth it at that price point)
