Integrated Amp For Dynaudio Contour S3.4

Hi

Am looking for a compact and cool running integrated amp to drive my Dynaudio Contour S3.4's. Am considering class D ones like Jeff Rowland Concerto or PS Audio GCC 100 or 250 (if the 100 isn't enough to drive it).

Am currently running a Krell pre/power combo with ML electronics. Am basically looking for something that runs cool and is less chunky and am wondering if I will lose out on the current sound I have which I am fairly happy with - we lot are never fully happy.

Feedback from anybody with experience on the above amps with similar speakers will be much appreciated.

Thanks

The Plinius 9200 is an excellent match for Dynaudio

I would try the BAT as well. I have one, and it is a superb integrated.

Hi

Won't go for the Krell as I currently have an FPB range pre/power combo and so will miss out on something with the integrated.

Will try the Plinius and BAT but am really looking for something in the way of switch mode integrated amp. The worry is that it may sound lean as is the received wisdom on such amps and that the PS Audio with 100 watts may not be enough to drive the Dyns which need high current and like to driven hard at loud levels.

The Rowland is very powerful and not at all lean sounding.
