I have owned Dynaudio Audience 42, Focus 140, Contour 1.4, and Confidence C1 models. I have at times used the same Musical Fidelity a3.2 integrated and cd player as you, and later the a308 integrated and cd player. It is my opinion if you like the Dynaudio sound you will notice a clear and very pleasant improvement. The 1.4 is a more refined speaker than the 52se. At least it was to my ears when I listened to both of them at a Dynaudio dealer.
Do I have enough electronics for Contour s1.4?
For the last 8 years I have been driving a set of Dynaudio Audience 52se with a Musical Fidelity A3.2 integrated A3.2 CD and an Apple digital network feeding an MSB Link DAC III. It is wired up with Kimber Kable products (Hero /4vs).
I've been quite pleased with this setup but have the upgrade itch. I'm considering picking up a set of Dynaudio Contour s1.4s to replace the 52se. Will there be an improvement? Do I have enough front end to make the s1.4 perform? The A3.2 is rated at 185w @ 4ohms.
Thanks!
