Dynaudio contour with 30 watt amp

I agree with Mattmiller. The Dynaudios love power, and in the end, higher power solid state will give a more satisfying result.

Yes, you would think so, but in my expereience with several monitors of the same efficiency, a tube amp of that power rating, (a deHavilland to be specific) was not up to the job of really controlling the speakers and making the sing as they should. And that applied at lower volumes as well.
