Would this amp have enough power to drive a pair of Dynaudio special 25's? It would be paired with a McIntosh C220 preamp. Also, is the Pass/Dynaudio a good combination?
I haven`t heard Special 25 but as Dynaudios are generally on the warm and musical side I believe that Pass amp will be great match. It has all the clarity and dynamics that Dynaudios need. Not sure about the McIntosh though.
Just to exemplify my personal experience. Dynaudio C2 + Accuphase amp = great bass but otherwise too rounded and soft for my taste. C2 + push-pull tube integrated = no go! If I had a pair of C2 then Pass X series or even Krell would be some of the first to try.
