B&K gear with the Dyn's of course...assuming the front end is musical and compatible!
Pick your poison...
I have a Musical Fidelity A3.2 integrated, a B&K REF 2220 and matching pre-amp. I also have a pair of Focal Chorus 714S's and a pair of Dynaudio Audience 72's. Half of this stuff has to go. I have been testing the speakers on a small NAD integrated that I had originally purchased for the Focals. Lets just say one thing led to another...now I have a pair of Dyn's and two more amps. I plan on auditioning every possible scenario...without using the NAD. Focal with B&K and MF, then Dynaudio with B&K and Musical Fidelity. Just by experimenting with the speakers last night on the NAD I have gotten myself in a quandary. I thought the Dynaudio's would be a HUGE step up from the Focal's...NOT so. Yes, the Focal's were a bit more revealing on the top end, but that came at the price of a little harshness. The Dyn's were much smoother up top, but had a little bit of midrange thickness and bass bloat. I am pretty sure the NAD is the culprit for the Dyn's weak performance as Dyn's love their power, and this NAD only had 50 watts and my room is quite large. So, what do you think is to be expected from the pairings of these two sets of speakers and two amps? In essence...pick your preferred combination.
Thanks!
