Driving Dynaudio Focus 220 IIs



Hello,

I will probably buy Dynaudio Focus 220 IIs.

I'm also looking at buying an amp. I like the two below because I can use them in either US or Europe (voltage switchable easily) and I can level-match sources.

Linn Majik-I (100 watts into 4 ohms, damping factor > 170)
Arcam A38 (140 watts into 4 ohms, damping factor 30)

I really wish I understood the science better -- I don't know what to look for to match speaker + amp choice.

Any thoughts on this choice? I can't AB compare the amps. Thank you!

I would be picking as high powered amp as possible for use with Dynaudio speakers. I had a set of Audience 42 monitors and they were easily shutting down my 100 watt Creek Destiny after about 1/2 hour of loud playing and this is in a bedroom and I'm not talking crazy loud just your basic loud level. I love Dynaudio speakers and think they are some of the best sound I've heard but they do like some beefy power that is a sure thing.
