Dynaudio 52se - best integrated amp at low volume?

I made an impulsive purchase of the 52se. I have a small listening room (10x10), I matched it up to an Electrocompaniet EC1-3, and a Cary 303/200(another recent impulsive purchase). The Electro seems a bit anemic. The Dyn's are new, as is the Cary. I don't feel it is open enough, and lacks a good wide soundstage at low volume. I tried my Aragon 8008x3,from my home theater, it drove the Dyns easier with better bass control. Still not with much passion or interest. Some have said that Plinius, and Classe are good matches. The new 9100 is more affordable than the 9200, I am afraid it maybe underpowered again. Any suggestions?? The Classe Cap 151 is another possiblity or Plinius 8200.
I'll re-read the past threads, but low volume is the key.
Maybe asking too much.
Thanks,
Robert

I think the problem might be the Dyn itself. I may be prejudice but the entire Audience line always seem like very unmusical. Nothing about them that connect with the listeners.
For the price of a 52se, there are so many exellent speakers out there.
