Amp for Dynaudio 1.3 SE

thank you for yours comments and advises. I compared musical fideilty integrated 3.2, moon i-5080 and creek (I do not remember the reference but roughly the same price as MF). I chose moon i-5080, in despite the fact that it is 80wpc @ 8 ohm only (it would be around 100 wpc for 1.3 SE @6 ohm). dynamic and fast, neutral (not the case for creek), with a very, very extended bas (not the case for MF) and really impressive stereo image. it is true that with some more power it would be better, but i-3 model was not available (i-5 is out of budget...). as the i-5080 model becomes "old", I have got a huge discount - final price was 900 USD... now, I can go for better cables.

A french review made great comments while using the Nova plus the I-3 on the 1.3 SE. The gave the Diapason d'Or to this combo. No doubt the I-5 would work well.

I heard the NAD S200 amp on the Dynaudio 1.3. This was an awesome sounding combo.

plinius! i have the 8200p and an ayre k3x pre with contour 2.8's (confidence style tweeter)and wouldn't consider changing, at least until my son grows up and i can get my goodies out of the cabint and try a class a plinius amp. simaudio was a little too fast/more clinical to my ears.

bingonh-how does the bass compare between the confidence 5 and the 1.3se? you must meed a sbwoofer?

Even these smaller Dyn's like power. I've heard them with Plinius, Mark Levinson, Pass Labs and Spectral amps. They need a minimum of 100 watts to bring out the best in these speakers.

I use the Sim Audio Moon P-5 and W-5 with those Dyn 1.3 SE. Everything is there. Incredible imaging, base, dynamic, detailed and fluid sound.

Hard to get better sound.

N.B. before those, I had Dynaudio Confidence 5.
