Can Simaudio w-3 adequately drive any Dynaudio?

If so, what is your recommendation? New or used are being considered.

The W-3 is a very robust amplifier. I used it with the 1.4 for a short time before changing to a floorstanding speaker. Though many Dynaudio speakers are of somewhat low sensitivity ratings(mid 80's), they are also often rated at 4 or 6 ohms which plays into the W-3's capabilities as a very stable amp. Even though it is rated at 125wpc, Simaudio generally offers very conservative power ratings. This amp will have no trouble driving a speaker in the mid 80's for sensativity and rated with a 4 or 6 ohm load.
