Looking for a high end integrated to suit Dynaudio contour 5.4's

Hi All

I am looking to move to an integrated amp to drive my Contours.  Dyns look to respond well to amps that are high current as I have had a Griffen Diablo connected into my system and there was a massive difference in the performance of my Dyns.  While I would love a Griffen its pricey so I am looking for an alternative.  At this stage I have been considering a Pass Labs INT-250, Audia Flight FLS-10, Vitus R-101 and Griffen Diablo 300.

Does anyone out there have any of these speaker/amplifier combinations or other suggestions around amplification for the Contours?

Thanks

You might also want to look at the hybrid Trilogy 925.

@jackd The trilogy is a nice looking Amp, have you tried it in concjunction with Dyn speakers?

Have you ever considered Naim Supernait 2. Very clean, neutral and realistic sounding integrated amp. Pairs perfectly with my Sonus Faber Amati Futura.

No I haven't just thought I'd throw it out there as an option to look at as I am considering it to use with my Verity's as well as the FLS-10.  May be hard to here as I don't know how many dealers they have other than the same dealer/distributor as Audia Flight. A couple of the reviewers were using fairly difficult to drive speakers from Boenicke and Gaudier.

Gryphon Diablo 300.
Nothing like it. So far, one of the very best I've ever heard and absolutely reasonable price for the level of performance.  Least of all for being a true all in one.

If it's heading off into Porsche 911 money then it's a no contest and the Porsche wins every time ;-)

In the under $50k bracket for separates or integrated, the Diablo 300 is right there.

At this level the diminishing returns are REALLY small.
