Integrated for Dynaudio Contour 60s to fill large great room

Hi Gang,

I have a friend who is very serious about music. He used to own a music club in NC and has book a thousand bands over the last 3+ decades.

He recently purchased Dynaudio Contour 60s (no sub; didn't pass WAF) and looking for an integrated under $3K. I realize this is a little low, but that's the budget.

Needs to fill great room 38’ long x 20’ wide with a celling that slopes in one direction from 15’-8’. so about 7200 cubic feet.

He likes NoLa groove based music and Americana. Wife likes female singers like Brandi Carlisle.

Thanks !

Price is right and at 150wpc 4 ohm, should move a lot of air.  Believe Norwegian built, so not Third World design/quality.  Good hunting.

Big ask at 3k budget.

The Dynaudio Contour 60 @89db + 4ohms + large room you’re going to need substantial power which increases cost.

Maybe a used Advanced Paris A12.  Lower cost new components you’d have to tradeoff/sacrifice Sonics likely towards sterile which would not be ideal for your musical friend.

  Those speakers in that room would be well served with a used Coda CiSB, or a used Hegel. Unfortunately the budget doesn’t allow. Brandi Carlisle will sound extremely shrill. That extra $2K he’s not spending will haunt him for a long time.
