B&W 602 S3 X Dynaudio 52?
... in the morning.They are just in a different league. 52s are way better. 
Best amp with Dynaudio
I´ve got mine with Plinius SA 102 and Cary SLP2002. Fine!I had them with 8200P and the extra current from SA102 is OK. 
ProAc Future Series: A "Dead Dog" or just Dead??
I own a pair of future .5´s since 1 year ago.The ribbon tweeter really loves tubes, it is also very dangerous as it has no mercy with upstream components.The woofer may not have too much slam for some tastes, but sounds pretty and goes down until ... 
B&W Nautilus 802 vs. ProAc Responce 2.5
What about the ProAc future series?The future .5 are warm and very detailed, with an ultra fast and soft tweeter. 
Plinius 9200
I had never read about Plinius amps more accurately ... I owned a 8200P and now a SA102 and these are just the words to describe them. 
Upgrading: What to use with Dynaudio 3.3's?
To my ears, in a small room the Audio by Van Alstine 350Ex amp is perfect with my 1.3SE Dynaudios. It drives them astonishingly well. Dynaudios are hyper current suckers, and the AVA gives them what they ask for. I have also listened to it with 3.... 
Tubed CD Player
The Ah! with 24/192 upsampler has all the detail. The upsampler is the "quid" of the player. Also Siemens ECC288 tubes are very expensive but get the best from it. 
Best CPD to pair w/ Plinius 8200mkII & Totem Tabu?
I guess that would be the Ah! price in USA, with all the upgrades. Anyway, you can buy the cheapest one and later upgrade it.The regular Ah! sounds good, but real music comes with 24/192 upsampling.I forgot another player: Copland CDA822, a bit mo... 
Best CPD to pair w/ Plinius 8200mkII & Totem Tabu?
I paired at home, during a holiday week, a Classé CDP10 with a Plinius 8200P and Van Alstine 350Ex poweramps, Van Asltine transcendence7 preamp and Dynaudio 1.3SE speakers.I compared it A-B-C with my Ah! Njoe Tjoeb 4000 with 24/192 upsampler and S... 
amp for ProAc future .5
Thank you Keithr, but I guess I will go for one of the two: Plinius or Electrocompaniet 
Review: Dynaudio Contour S3.4 Speaker
Just curiosity, what are you looking for your source?I am also looking for a new CD player or maybe a transport + DACManuel 
Review: Dynaudio Contour S3.4 Speaker
When I was checking my amp with the Contours, I did an A-B comparison with a Krell kav250 amp. I prefer the overall tone of the 8200P, but on bass control there was no color: the performance of the Krell on deep end beated the Plinius easily, with... 
Review: Dynaudio Contour S3.4 Speaker
OK I know the specifications.I also own a Plinius 8200P and Dynaudio Contour 1.3SE.I have checked the 8200P amp with all the former Contour speakers, except 3.3, with a Wadia 861 CDP, without preamp.Of course you can drive your speakers with a 820... 
Review: Dynaudio Contour S3.4 Speaker
I don´t want to disturb anyone, but I wonder how good can you drive the Dynaudio Contour 3.0 or new 3.4 with a Plinius 8200 integrated amp.I own a 8200P amp and it is a great one, but it would need some more current delivery to apropiate move the ... 
comparison of Njoe Tjoeb 4000 and Rega players
I made an A-B comparison between them: Rega Planet 2000 and Ah! Njoe Tjoeb 4000 with upsampler and Siemens E288CC tubes.Now I own the Ah!, it is much more detailed and very sweet too. The upsampler is highly recommended. I was making the upgrades ...
