I have a DR-3, which I think is a predecessor of the DR-25. The amp has excellent clarity and liveliness. To find is sonic competition, among amplifiers I'm familiar with I'd have to step into at least the four grand retail ballpark (and maybe more). The DR-3 sounds better than most amps I'm familiar with that retail for under ten grand - but then most of those other amps are considerably more powerful.
I asked a technician who's familiar with both the DR-25 and the Scintillas if the combination would work, and he said no way. The Scintillas are under 1 ohm over most of the spectrum, including the bass, and are only 79 dB efficient. They'd murder the little Classe'. Sorry!
My three year old Orion Bluebook lists the DR-25 at $1,638.00, to give you a data point.
