This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in.


I am buying Dynaudio C-1 Platinums and would like an ideal amp. Which would you choose? I prefer solid state. Separates or integrated. If you could recommend a few optimum choices that would be great. Based on my short couple years on here you strike me as very knowledgable on the subject. My dealer wants me on Pass Labs. Incidentally right now I have the Devialet 400 and I’m pretty sure you are not a fan of this type of amp. Any of your wisdom is appreciated. Thanks, Mike

When I owned  a pair of Dyn C1s (not Platinum) I used a Simaudio i7 integrated. I listened to a T+A integrated at my dealer at the time, from the R series, along with a T+A cd player. To my ears the bass was taut but not as deep as the Dyns were capable of. The Simaudio i7 fed by my Supernova cd player gave better bass and overall presentation; weightier and fuller. The current model, 700i, has more power than the i7.
The C1s are a special speaker for their physical size. Hope you have many hours of delightful listening!
