Hi,
I have a system with the Dynaudio Contour 1.3 mk1 and the Arcam A85. I tried lots of amplifiers on the dynaudios, even valve amps. One of the amplifiers I tested was the earlier mentioned NAD C370. In my opinion, the amplifier just sounds cold and unenjoyable. I did'nt like the combination and the amplifier failed in his duty after half an hour!
The sound of the Arcam on the other hand, matches the dynaudios a lot better. You should take a listen at this amplifier. My first opinion was that the low end was a little thin. But that is because there is so mutch detail in the mid and high region. Vocals are really astonishing! Give it a try.
BTW, d'ont buy an amplifier with less power than the A85. The dynaudios are really hard to drive because the efficiency is verry low.
Kind regards. Gert
