Dynaudio Confidence C4

According to the manual of Dynaudio, it is said they cn be driven by lower powered amps due to the benign impedance load, meaning it doesn't dip below 4 ohms. Still, I am curious to hear from members who have lived with triode amps such as the 845.

I have C4s powered by 500W Mac monoblocks. Don't think that 60W would cut it. Suppose it depends how loud you listen, but I still think that 60W would be marginal at best.

I have heard the C4 driven by Ovtave 80 watt tube amplifier. If you play jazz, chamber music at a relatively low volume you get a nice sound. But if you try Beethoven, you immediately realise that some of the music is simply lost.

Does anybody think a 200W per channel Tube Amp will do the job ? For the C4s (or temptations) for that matter ?

Hi All,
I have Dynaudio Temptations driven by a Boulder 2060 stereo amp. FWIW, I also have C4's as surrounds, driven by a BAT 6200 multichannel amp. I don't think that tube amps, unless they are the Macs referenced above, the high-powered ARC's or VTL's, need apply for the job. The Dyn's love power, and come into their own when it's supplied.
