selection of amp to drive DYNAUDIO C1

hi guys,was wondering which amp should perform the best for my set up,i'm open for your suggestion but will spend max for $3k,thank u all!
here what my mind:
BRYSTON 4B SST
PARASOUND A 21
PLINIUS 102 OR simple INT 9200
PASS LABS X250
i like all kind music especially with vocal,the amp later will match with dac/pre either bel canto DAC3 or benchmark DAC
cheers

Plinius 102 if you like a warmer sound. I have heard the 9200 as well, though the power ratings look good they do not have sufficient drive and control for the C1.
Go for the Pass if you want something more transparent and dynamic, depends on your source and preamp actually, if they are already tilted towards warmth then you might be better off with Pass. I dont have first hand experience with Pass but have discussed with some audiophiles I trust.
