Dynaudio Evidence Temptation?

I have heard the Temptations at my dealer's on a lot of occasions for several years. Amps used include the Accuphase 50 watt class A stereo amp, the Boulder 1000 series monos, Lamm ML1.1s and the Siltech amps, the latter two tubed designs. If you have a big room and play them loud, a strong solid state or big tube amp will be needed. You may lose some bass control with the tubes, so if that matters a lot you should steer towards solid state. I will state, as a tube man who owns Lamms, that my pick of all the amps on them was the Siltechs, followed by the Lamms, both of which drove them to fine volume levels and sounded superb. You should probably check with your amp manufacturer, but my guess is that the Music Reference should have enough to drive your speakers and make great music, you just may lack the last bit of control in the bass but the bass you get should still sound very natural and full.

My Temptaions are coming in about a week. I will drive them with a Boulder 2060 amp and have an EMM labs Switchman with the Meitner DAC6 and CDSD transport. My rears, for multichannel fans, will be Dynaudio C-4's and there will be a Confidence center (for now), driven by a BAT VK6200. Can't wait.

When you get your system set-up w/the Tempt's, I'd love to see some pix. The Tempt's are my dream speaker.

I currently own the Dynaudio Confidence C1, and Dynaudio Contour S3.4s'.

Did you find the Tempts new or used ?
Thanks, and Best Regards.

David, of all the amps I heard with the Temptations, the Boulders easily were the best in the bass; they had more uncovered low frequency ambient information than any amp I've ever heard, a very noticable trait. I think you'll like the combination a lot.

I also just bought an REL Studio 3. That should help also with bass response and ambience.
