Integrated amp for Synchrony Ones

Something along the line of. Bel canto c5i maybe.

I always like classe amps as well when I hear them ( not class d).

There is a Danish company gato that makes a very nice looking 250w/ch class d integrated but not sure how to find that one.

It's harder to find integrated amps that double power to 4 ohm than it is separates. But they are out there. 3000 budget might limit options.

Hennessy,
If you are serious about that Classe I would try to help facilitate the deal if need be :)

I honestly do t know much about that particular amp, i just know that I have really enjoyed all the Classe gear I've owned. If you get serious about it you might want to start a thread here on audiogon and get some feedback from actual owners of that amp. Also check out the reviews on thr dac section of the Classe. It does look like a nice piece and is something that I would personally consider!

I got in touch with the guy selling the Classe and I think I'm going to buy it. I read a review for the amp in Soundstage where the reviewer used Syncrhony Ones and reported that the amp handled them well - and I've seen nothing but positive reviews on the amp. Also reviewers say the amp is on the smooth side of things (I don't have the audiophile lexicon down) which in my scouring of Synchrony One reviews seemed to be a trait that was often recommended as a good match. Without being able to audition anything right now I think this is a good bet. Thanks again!

Also I found a chart in a Swedish magazine that tested the impedance of the classe:

8ohm: 135W
4ohm: 245W
2ohm: 435W
1ohm: 700W
(it actually listed 5 different readings by degrees which I don't understand)

So while not exactly doubling it gets pretty close. It seems like 435W at 2ohm should work well - I think the Synchrony Ones bottom out around 2.5 ohms or so.
