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 !

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.

Kinki Studio EX-M1. 400WPC at 4 ohms. Great sounding integrated that can either be purchased from one of the Vinshine Audio entities or from the US distributor TEK Audio.

I’ve heard the Rogue Audio Pharaoh, first gen, with 

Magnepan, Proac and JM Reynaud speakers and it

sounded very good with all of them.  I think the owner

needs to adjust the tubes manually once in a while though.

Tube rolling can definitely allow for tweaking to ones taste.
