Dynaudio Confidence C4

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.

Bigger conrad johnson tube amps will probably do ok too. I'd try a "darker" sounding high powered SS design instead though. The cost of retubbing is just too much for this former tubeholic. another try might be a good tube preamp with a neutral sounding high powered SS design.

I have a pair of Mac MC2102, generating approx. 220-240W per channel into 4 ohm, should I even try.... ?
