Best amps to pair with dynaudio C2


Looking for mono blocks to pair with dyn c2s. Budget 5 to 6k max. Cables = analysis plus big silver oval. My thoughts so far:

Parasound jc1s - used
Odyssey stratos "loaded" new;
Bryston 7b sst2 - used

Would very much appreciate any thoughts on these or other suggestions. I listen mainly to rock, jazz. Love the clarity,, "full information" the dyns provide. The warm, tubey sound puts me to sleep. I like a very tight grip on the base, totally silent ink black background and pure mids and highs that make you grin widely.

As a former C2 & C4 owner, I can't recommend Simaudio, even though many have said there is good synergy between the two. I tried a pair of Sim W6 monoblocks for a few days and quickly sold them. For solid state I would be much more inclined to try Pass XA60.5's or McIntosh MC501's... but even more intriguing would be to try some higher powered tube amps (Rogue Zeus, M-180's or VTL 450 sigs).
Like Nutella, I too used Plinius with my C2's with good results. I used the SA-102 MKII, which can be had for far less than your budget ($2,500 used).
