Hello 3amadors,
Your question is valid. I have owned the Dynaudio Special 25's, and had C1's home for a trial, so I have a little experience with them.
In my room with my system I found the McIntosh to give the best sound. I use the MC402. I tried a small tube amp and it did not have the power for dynamic passages. The speakers lacked bass, slam, and fulness. And Dynaudios are very capable of those qualities.
Consider a McIntosh audition in your home and see what you think!
