Sim I3, I5 or Music Fidelity A3.5, 5 with Dyn 140


I am in a bit of a toss up. I had the Arcam Solo, and though nice, did not give me the power that I crave to drive these speakers. I listen to quite a bit of rock and acoustic work. Any thoughts on this? Thanks!

I had a pair of 140's. I first used a Musical fidelity a3.2 integrated. It was rather weak. I then went to a MF a308 integrated. That was a tremendous improvement; all the power the 140's needed. I listened to the a3.5 and a5 at a dealer. Of those two, the a5 would be far better suited.
Currently I have a pair of Dynaudio Contour 1.4 with a Simaudio I3se. It has less power, albeit more than sufficient, but delightfully more musical. You might say it has better musical fidelity than the Musical Fidelity.
