Look at the sim audio line of integrateds as well. Should mate quite well with your Dynaudios.
Which amp for Dynaudio Contour 1.8 MKII?
I need your help. I invested in a new pair of Dynaudio Contour 1.8 MKII 6 years ago, paid 10% extra for beautiful birdseye maple for $2700. But I stay in an apartment, long story short, unfortunately an old lady moved in shortly after and the speakers went back to the box all 6 years. That's because the Dyns will sound good only at louder volume.
Anyhow, I've moved and it's time to buy the proper amp to go with it. I would love to hear the Plinius's warm house sound, so Plinius 8200 MKII and SA-100 MKIII are high on my list. I am also considering a dark-horse, the Bel Canto eVo2i integrated and Bel Canto eVo4 genII. All these amps go for less than $2k which is at the top end of my budget.
Plinius main advantage is great synergy with Dynaudio. Bel Canto has size advantage (compared to SA-100), runs cool, efficient, great review, plus the eVo2i has a nice preamp built-in with it kinda like the 8200 MKII. But I don't know if anyone have tried driving Dynaudio Contour speakers with Bel Canto. I appreciate your feedback and suggestion, and thanks in advance.
