Ayon Triton or Spirit III with Dynaudio C1's

Hi everyone, input appreciated:

I've asked what amp people would recommend for a pair of Magnepan 3.7's. I'm close to purchasing a pair of speakers, but thanks to listening to the Dynaudio C1's at RMAF as well as a local dealer, I'm going with them instead of the Maggies.

My question, then, regards the best combo of amp for the C1's in a moderately large room.

On my short list are:

1) Audio Research Ref 75
2) Audio Research VSi75
3) Octave v70SE
4) Ayon Triton III
5) Ayon Spirit III

My first instinct is to go with one of the Ayon amps, but I don't know if that would be a good pairng. Thoughts about any of the above?

Matt,
I have heard the C1's with the Octave v40SE (without the black box). Not really impressed. Switched to the Sim Moon Audio 600i and that made all the difference in the world. Image specificity, wide soundstaging and transient snap all fell into place. The Moon 600i is my first choice for a solid state amp. I really like the sound of tubes and was impressed with Ayon on RMAF. I'm hoping this makes for a great synergistic combination. Just not sure, as you said, it would be enough power.
