AMR with Dynaudio?

Oh sonic wizards I have a question for you:
How do you think an AMR AM 77.1 would mate with my Dynaudio Confidence 3's?
I really do enjoy.the Plinius/Klyne combo I have driving them now, but feel like the AMR digital source is the best I have heard. So, maybe their amp would more than double my fun?

And, I am always thinking less boxes is better. The AM 77.1 would have obvious synergy with it's stall mate, but would it mate well with and drive the Dynaudios...in particular my need for their bottom end to be pushed as I have no space for a subwoofer.

I would hate to go down the wrong rabbit hole ending up in a new warren reinventing my sonic world trying to wedge the AMR into place when it just really doesn't fit well.... Watership (Upside)Down! We've all done that before and since I have been waiting patiently for months for my AMR DP 777 SE to be released and arrive, I don't want to extend that waiting period for my system to be firing on all cylinders.

Thank you for your wise counsel!

I browsed the 6moons review and came away with the impression that the AMR integrated would be a nice match with your Dyn 3's. The build quality looks impeccable and I like the hybrid element which lends to the possibility of tweaking the sound thru tube rolling. The review compared it to a higher power push-pull tube amp and AMR said the amp was designed to drive speakers of low to mid efficiency. I also like the look of this amp and the allure of going to a one box solution vs. separates is always appealing, unless it's at the expense of sound quality.

However, I'm a proponent of tube amps, so I'd try a tube amp first, even though your Dyn's are not very efficient... thinking maybe a Cary 120? If that does not work, then I'd try the AMR integrated.

BTW, I'm very impressed & envious with the aesthetics of your system... great looking console and speaker stands. Well done!
