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 !

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.

Maybe a used Ayre integrated?

He might look at the Hegel H190v, currently on sale for $3200.

Another vote for the Hegel H190v. Recommended it to a friend and he loves it. Powerful , well balanced and versatile. Other option I would recommend is a used Simaudio (Moon). Well built with enough juice and a quality product. I have had two of their products so far and it is flawless.

best of luck and keep us posted.

Where did your friend own a club?  I've lived in NC since 1985 and have been to many venues throughout the state.  I might be able to connect him with a friend who owns a nice brick and mortar store here.
