selection of amp to drive DYNAUDIO C1


hi guys,was wondering which amp should perform the best for my set up,i'm open for your suggestion but will spend max for $3k,thank u all!
here what my mind:
BRYSTON 4B SST
PARASOUND A 21
PLINIUS 102 OR simple INT 9200
PASS LABS X250
i like all kind music especially with vocal,the amp later will match with dac/pre either bel canto DAC3 or benchmark DAC
cheers

Honeyooi,

You made a wise choice. I run my C1's with an X350 and am very happy. I would go with an Pass Labs X1 preamp instead of the Aleph P and take advantage the Super Symetry circuitry in the X1. I suggest you download Nelson Pass's patent on Super Symetry and read it. Reno Hifi often times has great deals on refurbished X1's and are usually posted for sale here on Audiogon. Best of luck with you X250.5.
Unfortunately no. Actually the X2 is a good little preamp. It does not have the bells and whistles of the more expensive preamps but the X circuitry is in place. I think you would be happy with it. Best of luck.
