Dynaudio Special 25's


Just bought a pair and love them. Detailed dynamic good base... i could go on. I want to head down the upgrade path and would like some opinions. I have the NAD masters M5 cd player and M3 integrated and like them. I am looking for more dynamics and detail. What product lines would compliment these speakers and really make them sing? So far i am thinking about Mcintosh, Simaudio, Ayre or Bat- all locially available. If i had to change one item at a time where would you go first?

Dyn dealer here, I'll chime in. The NAD Masters is a very good mate with the Dyn monitors like the C1 and Special 25. This is a very popular combo outside of the US and they often show together. The Masters are starting to make waves here as well.

You say you would like more "dynamics and detail", but has there been any attention given to setup, positioning, or acoustical treatment? Not that it will help necessarily, but it should at least be considered.

The best I can give you is go with as high current of an amplifier you can afford. I prefer a high current amp with the C1's and Special 25's as it helps when listening at low to moderate volume levels. I use the Parasound Halo monoblocks and love how it sounds with my C1's.

Separates would be the way I would go, but if you have your heart set on an integrated. The NAD Masters sure isn't a bad combo. Other combos to consider would the Simaudio i-7 or Musical Fidelity A5.
