Dynaudio Contour 3.0 recommend?

Not sure the Pass would be great on the Dyns...too polite.

My room is 18x15 - should have posted that before.

I use Dynaudio Contour 3.0s with a Bryston 3B-ST in a 12x16 room.

Old thread I know - but what would you qualify as a small room?

Looking at the 3.0's and a Moon W-5 or perhaps Plinius 100 MkIII

I own 3.0 with Plinius 100 MkII. I changed caps, from cheap solen/bennic caps to Hovland, plus added some silver internal wire. Crossover components are CHEAP, by audiophile standards for near $7K speakers. Clean sounding with deep, tight bass that CAN and WILL overpower the un-adequate (small) room where bass can be boomy, or highs harsh. I, still haven't settle on the pre-amp issue (ARC LS 16) Still, i love them! They sound teriffic, even without the "upgrades" i've done. If your room is too small, and on budget look for 1.8 mkII. Best of the scenarios: If you have good sized room and $$ go check Watt/Puppy 7, and you'll be done! But if you cannot afford them. You'll just get depressed! Trust me!

Well, the Dynaudio's were rated the speaker to beat for midrange in that price class by stereophile a bit ago. No experience with the Pass amp.
