Dynaudio S5.4 and ML No.436?

I got my Dyaudio S5.4 a week ago, use a Pass X350 now, think to get a pair of ML No.436, how do other members think? are they better match than X350? or other amps? I like a little laid back and slightly warmer sounding, thanks!

I'd review speaker placement before changing amps (the 350X is a good amp).
If you feel that the music is "forward" you may have peaks in 2kHz upwards region due to early room reflections.
Try taming 1st reflections & see what happens.

I agree with Gregm. I also don't think ML is the way to go for warmer sound. I'd recommend trying Classe, Rowland, BAT, or McCormack. All will be warmer than ML.

I wouldn't do anything until the speakers are broken in. It can take up to 200 hours before they sound their best. I'm running mine with a pair of Pass Labs Aleph 1.2's and there is no hint of brightness. I don't think the amp is the problem. It may be the room or it may be your source components, preamp, or your cables. I would give it some more time before I do anything. As I said before I don't think the amp is the problem.
