Suggestions (based on experience) for power amp for Dynaudio Contour 20s, please
I have Contour 20s, and I'm driving them with a McIntosh MC152. I like the sound. But I'd appreciate input from someone who's heard the 20s driven by multiple different amps, especially Dynaco or PrimaLuna. Thanks...
I recently bought the Contour 20s and am pushing with the Lyngdorf TDIA2170 which is high current 170W at 4 ohms. I wish I had more power. I'm sure the Primaluna would sound great depending on your listening habits and how loud you like to play.
Thanks for the responses. david_ten, the Contour 20s do need quite a bit of power; with some CDs, I've had the pre-amp volume set to 100. I've sent an inquiry to PrimaLuna asking which of their power amps they'd recommend. I was thinking it might call for the
DiaLogue Premium HP.
I have to have the volume up near 0 on the Lyngdorf to get the volume I want. Dont get me wrong it does sound very good. I think they were measured at around 85db @4ohms. I get the feeling the more power the better with these.
