I realize that this post is a couple of months old but this info. may benefit somone else with the same question.
This past summer I went on a hunt to find an integrated amp to power my Dynaudio Contour 1.3s (I have since upgraded to the 1.3 SE model). I owned and compared an NAD C320BEE to a YBA YA201, a Bryston 2B with a PS Audio preamp, a Consonance a100 Linear and finally a Krell KAV 300iL. The NAD was a fine sounding unit but seemed to lack transparency and dynamics when compared to the Bryston, YBA and the Krell. I believe that in an effort to make the NAD seemingly punch above its weight that the midbass is humped up a bit. I ended up keeping the Krell 300iL. The Krell offers incredible dynamics and is noticebly more refined from top to bottom.
Dynaudios can sound good with many amps but they definitely like power to sing to their full potential. If a Krell or similar amp is outside of your budget I would look for a Bryston B60, YBA YA201, Naim NAIT 5i, or a Simaudio offering. Stretch the budget a bit and get the more transparent refined sounding amp.
