Integrated Amp Suggestions for Dynaudio Contour 3.4LE
Just bought a floor model of these speakers at a good price. I currently have an NAD M3 Dual Mono integrated and would love to hear how I could do better. Any thoughts on what integrated would best pair with these speakers?
One other twist. I also own the Magnepan 1.7's. It would be great if I had an integrated amp that would sound great with both speakers. That may be a tall order and I am mainly concerned about driving the Dynaudios but just thought I would throw it out there.
Many thanks

http://www.toneimports.com/lmaudio/501IA.html http://www.primaluna-usa.com/dialogue-premium-hp-integrated Both recommendations have high quality transformers that will operate well with the loads of the Contours and Maggies. I have heard similar Primaluna Prologue PL7 (70w Monos) with the Megnepan 1.7 (w/self powered sub) and thought it was a great combo. Have not listened to the Contour, but the above referenced integrates are both highly rated and I think it would be worth your while to do a little research; maybe you have a Primaluna dealer in your area. Also occasionally you may find either amp on the used market, usaudiomart or AG Good luck |
http://www.toneimports.com/lmaudio/501IA.html http://www.primaluna-usa.com/dialogue-premium-hp-integrated Not sure the warranty on the above is transferable There is a couple discussions here on AG, that described the Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II Integrated Amp Combined with the MMG's sounding very good. I would think this would apply to the 1.7. I think this is within your budget ($2,400.00 New) There's a fellow member by the name of mapman who wrote hearing this system. You could PM him to see if he could provide further info. Are you open to separates? There one or two combos I saw reviewed with Magenpan 1.7's. I can forward that info, if you like. |
Decware Mystery amp would be great with the Contours 3.4LE. You would want to contact Steve (http://www.decware.com/newsite/contactsteve.html) with regard to driving the Magnepans. I have listened to and was impressed with the Decware ZenTorii operating Devore Fidelity speakers. It's a 25 watt unit, you would want to go with the 40 watt amp/integrated. You may want to read upon this amp, even if your not interested in going with tubes. It has a very interesting circuit including voltage regulation, also available with cap. and other options. http://www.decware.com/newsite/MYSTERY.html |
