How do I smooth out violins?
the funny thing is in my case that violins sounds the best with low budged amplifier Technics a700mk2 connected to Dynaudio contour s1.4 and bryston dac.No magic wires at all,just simple ones.Overall sound is massive and very powerfull

SS Amps for C4 Signature II's
but have in mind that you have C4 not C1,for that reason sim audio integrated may not provide enough power for c4 
Top monitors 3K - 6K range
