Need suggestions for a new amp 200Wpc

Own Plinius 100MkIII, Dynaudio Countour 3.3, Sony SACD-1 Sony TA-E90ES pre all inside 25'x16'x18' (full catedral ceiling)room. Need amp for better bass control, cleaner sound. Looking for an amp with 200wpc or more, in range of $4000-$5000 used! What do you think BEST will work with Dynaudio speakers?

InnerSound ESL. Drives my Magneplanar 3.6s effortlessly and sounds as good as any tube amp.

You can buy a used Pass X350 for less than 4k. Truly a great amp. Much better value on the used market than the krell fpb series. If you do a search on this forum you will find multiple positive comments.I am not a dealer but I know a great source for used pass equipment. Email me if you would like to discuss.

Ditto Darqwolf, Keithr and ddrdiamond; to paraphrase and quote, "Krell, FPB series as big as you can afford." I use 400cx, that's what Dynaudios (and Thiels, he he) like.

I have recently become a huge fan of this company.

Read this thread and then consider that the new AVA 220watt Fet-valve 550EXR is FAR better.
This amp has the transparency, authority, inner detail, dynamics, control, extension; flat from DC to 500k, pitch-perfect tonality, and a delicacy on par with 10K + amps. Unless you can't live without a big name on your rack, you'll not want to live with anything less. Au'natural. Absolutely vanishes...paid advertisement, not
