Schubert,
Brownsfan is deeply devoted to classical music as you are. He's very happy with the Coincident Triumph Extreme II with an eight watt amplifier. I trust his taste and discrimination. For less money many people seem to be happy with the Tekton Lores.
Schubert,
You may want to reconsider your impression of the Tekton Lore. According to Mikirob that speaker is more than just a mere rock speaker and according to his listening impressions does justice to a variety of genres of music. Just a thought.
Schubert,
If your friend had issues with the Tekton I can understand your hesitance reservations. Mikirob, Brownsfan and I have very similar taste, so when one of them is enthusiastic about a product it gets my attention. There's a very long thread comparing Zu Omen and Tekton in the audiogon archives.
Best of sucess to you in your search.
Charles,
The main improvement of the Dynamo MK II is bigger and better transformers. Israel Blume(Coincident owner/founder) believes transformer quality is a "crucial" factor for tube amplifiers. He feels this MK II is a notable upgrade. Based on my dealings with him, I wouldn't doubt this at all.
I suspect this is a very stout and robust 8 watt amplifier with appropriate speaker matching.
