Which amp for Dynaudio Contour 1.8 MKII?
Perkadin, thanks for sharing. It's great because I know there aren't too many owners of the 1.8 here, most went for 1.3. I agree and just repeating what you've said, Dyns need the right amp at high volume to achieve its potential. After extensive ... 
Which amp for Dynaudio Contour 1.8 MKII?
Fdesro, thanks. Sim w5 is a great amp, of course that's slightly out of my budget. If you are happy driving Contour 3.3 with SA-100, that's very good to hear. I'm just waiting for a good deal to come up, I won't have to worry about a preamp if it'... 
Which amp for Dynaudio Contour 1.8 MKII?
Thanks for the response, I thought about the Sim/Moon too. I remember reading some comments in the past that Sim and Dyn combo could come up very neutral without any coloring. Comments on your experience?I love the sound of the Dyn because when I ... 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
Mcne, like you, I'm a big fan of Dynaudio. Especially bird eyes maple, I ordered that for my Dynaudio Contour 1.8MKII too and absolutely loved it. I am into this hobby to locate for components that I can hold on and enjoy for a long time. Goal is ... 
Should cinema be our HT reference?
Sugarbrie, point well taken. Stehno, I will keep that in mind. Room size difference (I believe) should be a factor with such a tall headroom in the cinema. I will try to discover this secret technique used by the cinema. :)Thanks,KG 
Should cinema be our HT reference?
Avguygeorge, that does makes sense. Now I am really curious as to how they accomplish the homogenized sound. This just sounds like a very good technique to try. If applied correctly, it may produce a very good balanced sound effect. Now I have to ... 
Should cinema be our HT reference?
Thanks. I thought I am the only one who feels this way. I always wait for the cinema to 'give it to me', but the sound just never poop out. On your point about the picture, I always wonder about that too. The CRT projector used in the cinema suppo... 
Solid state amp ultimate stop...
Zaikesman, in some way this question is very similar to "What would you do if you have a million dollars?". And I believe almost everyone have asked or been asked this question before. Why? First and foremost, I am curious. I am curious to learn w... 
Solid state amp ultimate stop...
Viggen, I didn't include tube amp because I believe majority pursue solid state amp for its sheer power, which is tube amp's achilles heel (IMO). Plus, tube amp is another game all together which certainly can be another thread on its own. Mrcaspe...

Providing info based on Stereophile's article at http://www.stereophile.com/showarchives.cgi?762Brinkmann, Plinius and Jeff Rowland. According to the author, if your system match well with Concentra II, it will probably not with the Plinius. And B... 
Bryston Vs Classe
Pkmclean, like you I own Dynaudio speakers and am searching for an amp that match well with the Dyn. If you search archive here at Audiogon, you will find that many Dynaudio owners here found that Plinius gear to be a very good match. When I bough... 
Synergistic amp with Contour 1.8MKII ..
Thanks very much for sharing your information, especially on the Ayre V5x. Ayre V5x is one amp that I would love to own, however it is a bit out of my budget range for now. My optimal budget is < $2000 for an amp. The sound of V5x with Dyn Cont...
