Dynaudio C2 with Plinius 9200

separates usually perform better than integrated amps.
this is where the upgrade in sonics would come from, by switching to separates. but in case of speakers that like power, the overall improvement would be questionable at best, since you will be switching to a lower powered amp. I would start with 200w/ch into 8ohms for these speakers.

yep..again bigger is better on the confidnce line

Ok, Dkzzz I realize now you are right and the rest of the world is apparently wrong.

Dyn's s--- despite the considerable evidence to the contrary. And they do not have any treble. Why would anybody pollute their systems with such Danish garbage?

Lord knows why people drop such large amounts of hard earned cash on them so easily.

Do you offer market tips as well?

Johnno35,

I suspect from my experience with small Contour 1.3 mkIIs that most Dyns, including larger Confidence line models, like power and current...the more, the merrier.

And, they are not the easiest load to drive, so doubling power into 4 and even 2 ohms might help more than just throwing more watts into 8 ohms at them.

My Contours sound more flushed out and fuller now at most volumes on a 120w/ch Musical Fidelity A3CR that largely doubles into 4 ohms than they did earlier on a Carver m4.0t that pushed 360w/ch into 8 ohm but only marginally more into 4.

Gentlemen:-))

I think we can always agree to disagree since our preferences are different. If Mr. Dkzzzz thinks that only ATC speakers sound good, then I think we should discuss no further gentlemen:-))

I have owned Totem (Model One. Rainmaker), Dynaudio (Audience 52, DM 2/10-a line that is even cheaper than Audience), and JBL (S38, HS 610) and can speak from the results of my A/B testing that Dynaudio's tweeters are very good if not better than most other companies (MA, B & W, Totem, PSB, Focal, Vandys, JBL, etc...)

I can listen to my Dynaudio DM 2/10 monitors for hours without having the listening fatigue since they are more airy than other metal dome tweeters that I have auditioned. My GF seems to concur with me on the good treble that the Dyns produce.
