amp for Dynaudio Contour 1.1


My friend owns a pair of dynaudio contour 1.1, but can't decide which amp or CD player to go with. Tried the parasound, but too bright...

It would help if we knew your friends' budget, room size, type of music and preference for seperates, integrated, solid state or tubes. Regards,
My friend has a pretty big master bedroom (sorry I am not quite sure the size). The budget is approx <$3000 for the preamp/amp combo or an integrated. Prefer solid states and Jazz, vocal, etc... The only thing concerned is to remove the over-brightness of the dyns.

Thanks.
Thanx Ruo:
I am not endorsing these products nor have I listened to them but the Musical Fidelity AC3r amp and pre retail for about $3000 and got quite good reviews. Because they are solid state and new you could look around here for used. They seem to be a good match because the Contours have low sensitivity and the recommended power is a minimum of 65W in medium rooms. I'm sure you will get other good suggestions so your friend may want to put together a short list. Personally, I'm a big fan of Bryston and their 3ST amp might fit the bill. Happy hunting,
