Hmmm? I use a Chiro c200 with VR4s thru an LS-3 and find the sound excellent: wide and deep soundstage, deep and detailed bass (but less treble extension) and excellent imaging.

I'm looking for a dynamic amp to drive my Dynaudio Contour surround system which can be somewhat inefficient (86db) and tends to sound congested when the action really gets going (ex. Braveheart- opening, Matrix- lobby). I was looking to spend less then 1k on the used market, which is why I mentioned the above amps, but will I need to look higher to find good symmetry with dynaudio? My speakers are the Contour Center, 1.8's and the audience 42's for the rear. 60% movies/ 40% music.
