Simaudio W-5 or Pass X-250 for Dynaudio Special 25

I have the Pass X-250 and I can't imagine you wouldn't be thrilled with it. Its neutral,dynamic,detailed,great bottom end and freakin gorgeous. Its a large amp-so make sure you have the room(floor space) for it. I can't comment on the Simaudio although I know they make tremendous gear.

I've heard the Sim Audio w-5 in my system as well as the LE version and would buy one in a heart beat if money were not a consideration. I run a speaker that uses all Dynoaudio drivers and no amp has controlled it with such an iron fist with a velvety tube like quality as the Moon has. The resolution on thses amps is truly first rate and the soundstaqge is the best in terms of sheer size and height. Dynamics must be heard to be believed,I strongly recommend auditioning one if you can. Take care Dennis

Dynaudio & Sim demo every year @ CES together fwiw.

I am using Atmaphere m-60s with the superb Dynaudio Special 25s,this past Christmas I have heard the 25s with Simaudio L.E. gear.Very,very good solid state. This little speaker is really something to behold,I was set to purchase the fabulous Merlins a year ago when the 25s where shipped to my dealer,The Russian birch veneer attracted me.I compared the Merlins to the 25s using Atmaphere amps and pre,analog front end.... It did not take long to reallize the Special 25s are a better speaker and for less money....Listen to these amps if you can,driving the 25s ,you can not go wrong with Simaudio, Atma-phere,and David Berning driving the 25s.
