Amplification for Dali MS4

I went to a local dealer in Oklahoma City today and we demoed the MS4's with three diff. amps. First we hooked up a Krell fpb 350 mcx it was great on the bass, tight, deep, and detailed. The highs was a diff. stroy they were in my face and harsh. Next we hooked up the Mcintosh 501's they were not as good on the bass but ok and mids and tweets were outstanding and very musical. The next amp we will try tommorrow will be the classe M400 mono's they are a combo of the Krell's bass and the Mac's mid and highs so we will see. The amp i'm thinking will be the one is the BAT 600SE it is the best amp on the market bar none for great bass and tube like mid and highs so i'm saving the best for last. My friend has one and it blows away Krell, Pass, Lev., Lamm, Halco is a toss up; but the BAT is a fourth of the price so it is a much better deal. There you have it the BAT vk-600SE is the best of the best according the Steve Huntley of Great Northern Sound in Minn. and he is the best Mod. guy in the USA he has opened up every Hi-end amp on the market and he told me the BAT is the best built and best sounding he has ever heard price no object. THE BEST AMP ON THE MARKET GO LISTEN TO ONE YOU WILL BUY IT\!

I have heard the Dali's with Classe, Rotel and Sphinx.
Sphinx project18 was the best by far and without aftremarket powercord, then I set a Siltech G5 spx30mkII power cord and the sound improved dramtically. In my opinion a tube preamp (vtl, cary) and Sphinx project 18 is a fantastic match.
Bat solution sounds good to me also.

I had them and used a Bat 300XSE. Excellent match.
Heard them with Plinius and excellent match.

Harsh highs guys ? ? ?

Simply incredible midrange and highs.
I heard things that I never knew were on the recording.
I found them natural and sweet.
They are so clean and clear sounding one tends to listen at highish volumes.

Only speaker that I have heard as good or equal is the Magnapan 20.1.

Hi it's Vernicet. I have concluded my auditioning of the super amps Krell 350 fpb, Classe m400, AudioResearch VT-100 mk 3 modifie, and Mcintosh 501's all being mono blocks. The hands down winner is Mcintosh 501's Super, Super amp for any price range. Second was a toss-up the Classe and ARC are both great amps but the Mcintosh has it all Deep! bass Spine tingling Mid's and Super Crisp High's!!! It is so musical I can't turn if off at night. So i've been having to sleep an hour or two during the day when I get a chance. So if you have set hrs. to be at work don't kid yourself this amp will make you late for work if you're not carefull. Good Luck!!!

My component is Capitole MKII CD, Chord SPM4000 power, Chord CPA3200E pre and DaliMS5 speaker. The sound is very natural, clean and musical impression. I think the Chord amp is the best choice for the Dali because the bass production from this amp is better than tube amp.
