Suitable amplifier for Dynaudio Contour 3.3?


Hi Everyone,

I am looking for some feedback regarding amplifier choices for my Dynaudio Contour 3.3s. I currently use the Levinson 334 which is certainly suitable for driving the speakers, but was wondering what other amplifiers should be considered. Price is in the 4-5K range. Since synergy is important, I have listed components below relative to 2-channel.

Current system (for 2-channel):
Levinson 334 amp
Theta Casablanca II w/Extreme DAC
Ayre D-1x CD/DVD
Nordost Valhalla digital and analog cables.
Synergistic Resolution Reference speaker cables.

Thanks in advance.

You need lots of power to make the 3.3's sing. I have a Plinius SA250 Mk.IV amp for my 3.3's. It pumps 250 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms, 450 Watts per channel into 4 Ohms. 900 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms in bridged and true balanced mono modes. Also the Pass Labs X350 would be another excellent choice.
