Need help to find Solid State Amp for Dunlavy SCIV

I agree with the post above about getting IVAs. I owned the original IVs and while they are good speakers, the IVAs are better in every way. In fact I was surprised at the difference between these two speakers. The IVAs have a overall coherency that the IVs just can't match. JMO: If you like the IVs, upgrade to the IVA before considering other upgrades. I think you'll like what you hear!

Currently, I used IV and my amp is Rowland2. My room is almost the same size like you. In my opnion, Rowland do a good job in overall performance including the bass. However, I don't quite sure how much bass you want since you play some A/V. If you not too hunger, the Rowland 2 can be the choice, while consider the used price at around 2.5 KUS$.

Another choice try a little old amp but bass not disappoint you for sure. Krell KSA250. I think used price less than 2K.

I would suggest you try to hear Steve McCormack's DNA-500. VERY strong, controlled bass, with excellent musicality and presence, and layering/soundstaging you just need to hear for yourself. Presentation is as if "you are there". Loads of power and current if you need it (500w into 8 ohms/900w into 4 ohms) coupled with a real nice musicality. Lots of glowing reviews (made me leery at first) as well - they get it mostly right.

I've heard various Krell, Rowland and Pass amps, and while they are all very good, they don't bring the same sort of smile to my face that the DNA-500 does.

Just something to consider, if you haven't already.....

thanks everybody for your opinion, I heard that from few friends before that 4a has lot more bass, so today I sold my speakers, Now i am going to look for 4a or anything equal to that. I would like suggestions if I go with 4a or I can get anything better in the same price range which is about 4000.00 thanks Paul

I agree with the Rowland suggestion try a pair of model 1's in mono or a model 5
