Dynaudio C2 with Plinius 9200

Dpac996

Interesting observation. I listened to less expensive or perhaps the least expensive Dynaudio Countour 1.4 through Linn integrated then trough Naim nait in both cases treble was dead, just like you described it : there was no Alive-sound to be found.

Side note: 99% of speakers are just horrible exercises in cabinet making and have nothing to do with competent design.

If anyone needs a good set of speakers they don't need to look anywhere other than ATC floor standing speakers preferably active.

Dkzzzz ..Man, what are you smoking??...To say Dynaudio speakers are tubey, warm and lack treble im guessing something very strong.Dynaudio is known for its accurate and musical top end.The esotar2 tweeter is one of the best made,period.First of all there is a very very big difference between the Contour line and the Confidence line.We all know that except you I guess.Maybe its just you cant afford C2s,that I dont know but you are way off the mark.....Johnno35,I would totally ignore the comments he has made.I suggest taking your amp to where ever you are buying and you be the judge..Im betting you will be listening to the C2s in your home for some time to come.. Enjoy!

I think Plinius 9200 will drive these speakers purely from power perspective. Not optimally, but it will. I would not worry about that from the get-go. But in a long run, you should know that Dynaudio speakers like power.

Does Plinius mate well with Dynaudio sonically?
That is a different story. If we are talking integrated amps, I would rather pair the Dyns with a Krell integrated than with the Plinius. I think Krell amps are a good match with Dynaudio. Dyns are one of the few speakers with which I would most likely not hesitate to use the Krell amplification. But that's just me. Or a new Pass Labs integrated amp, the INT-150, I think would mapir nicely with the Dyns, but may be a bit on a smooth, relaxed side as well.

Anyway, if you like and want to C2s, go for it. You can always try a different amp with them at a later point. The most important thing you should decide is whether or not Dynaudio C2 is the speaker you like and want. That would be more important than worying about an amp. You should buy amp for the speakers. Not speakers for the amp.

Dkzzzz

I would encourage you to listen to more components before making general observations. It will do you well.

Happy listening.
