Audio Research DSi200 with Dyns C1 Signature

Hello. I have Dynaudio C1 Signature and want to move to new electronics. I heard very good things about ARC tube amps (and also Octave amps)but right now, I have the chance to buy a DSi200 but not sure about the match with this integrated amp(which is solid state) and my C1's. Unfortunately, demoing will be very difficult. Searched the forum (and others) but couldn't find specific comments. If you have specific experience with those gears, can you please share your experience. What I'm looking for is bass control, transparency, balance and good soundstaging. Thanks.

The ARC to which the original poster is referring is not a tube amp but a digital/switching integrated.

I've owned the DSI200 for a short period. I believe it can handle efficient speakers with ease, producing a punchy, airy sound and stable soundstage. I've matched them with ATC SCM19, which was a great combination. Since C1 is more efficient than ATCs, the result can be spectacular. Go for it !

I have an audio research ls 27 and i try the DS225 great sound with my dynaudio contour 5.4 but for the ultima sound go for the DS450 it is a match made in heaven.

I love my dynaudio but, the do need an amp with high current to control the lower frequency, don,t walk goes to the nearest dealer and get a DS450 you will never regret it. Good luck Tango.
