Amp for Dynaudio: Pass Aleph 3 is OK?


My system is Dynaudio Audience 60, Adcom GFP 750 , and NAD 214 power amp. Source is Cal Alpha and Delta combo.

NAD 214 has a power to drive Dynaudio(86dB, 4ohms), but it does not have dynamics and details.
I would like to replace my power to either Pass Labs Aleph 3 or old Krell (KSA 50).

I don't play music loud and listening room is also small, so I don't need a huge amps, but I want all the details and dynamics even at lower volume, and Aleph 3 has good reputation for its clarity. I am not sure if it can drive my Audience enough.

My budget is around $1500, but I can spend more if a couple of hundred dollars improve sound dramatically.

Maybe, I could go with an integrated amps. I tried Bryston B-60, and it was quite impressive for vocal and jazz, but the base was laid back...

Any advice is welcome!

Kthomas, the Aleph 3 is a wonderful sounding little space heater. If you live in a colder climate the sound from this little amp will not only warm your heart but your toes on a cold winter's night. The amp can drive the speakers you mention but I can not attest to what volume. It appears that David99 feels it will supply sufficient volume, so I will go along with him. In any case, I have heard this amp many times before and can assure you that it is one of the sweetest amps of modest power I have ever heard. Best of luch to you.
