Srz888 I started with the original C1's being driven with a Bryston B100sst and thought it sounded great. Then one day my dealer brought over an Octave V70SE. The tubes weren't even warmed yet and I was convinced how much better it sounded. Even though the Octave had 1/2 the power @ 4ohms it just sounded so much more in control. Now with the Octave I can swap out tubes and change the sound from extremely musical to almost SS sounding.
Int amp and Dynaudios
For all of you Dynaudio owners, and there are plenty of you, what is your favorite int amp - dynaudio combo and why? I have focus 220 mk II's currently being driven by a musical fidelity A308 150wpc integrated. Curious to hear what other dynaudio owners are driving their loudspeakers with and why you chose that pairing.
