Well, it depends which Dynaudio speakers you have . Some are more power hungry than others. I have the Contour 3.3's and have them powered by the Musical Fidelity Nu Vista Integrated amp which has probably about 450wpc into 4 ohms. Musical Fidelity also makes some really nice separates such as the 308 series. Simaudio also makes a W-5 amp that matches up pretty well to Dynaudio speakers.
Need pre & power amp to drive Dynaudio
I listen to a fair amount of cd classical orchestral and opera and have found most ss amps in the 3-$6,000 range glaring/bright especially on massed strings although pop/rock sounds great. I did enjoy classical on the VTL MB 450 when I purchased the speakers and loved the Tubed DM Kronzillas on a friends system. Are there any other amps I should be auditioning whether solid state or tube. My budget is now in the 10 to 12k range.
I can purchase the MBL 8011M solid state monoblock and their 5010 pre-amp at a fair price. Does anyone have have any knowledge of these products? "Absolute Sound" likes them. Or should I stick with tubes?
I am auditioning the EMC-1UP and the Bat D5SE cd players. Like the Bat for classical/opera and EMC for pop/rock. A dilemma.
I would be grateful for your insights.
