Dynaudio Special 25's

Just bought a pair and love them. Detailed dynamic good base... i could go on. I want to head down the upgrade path and would like some opinions. I have the NAD masters M5 cd player and M3 integrated and like them. I am looking for more dynamics and detail. What product lines would compliment these speakers and really make them sing? So far i am thinking about Mcintosh, Simaudio, Ayre or Bat- all locially available. If i had to change one item at a time where would you go first?

I have listened to the Dynaudio C-1's with the Simaudio I-7 integrated. They sounded fantastic together. I don't personally care for the Mac and BAT equipment, but that's just me.

What I would do if I were you is take the Special 25's to the dealers and listen to each of the four brands and decide for yourself.

I think with those speakers and you current electronic, anything from the companies you mentioned will be a solid upgarde.

Those are really good speakers and will sound that much better with solid electronics. I think you could be happy for a LONG time with the Sim i-5, 1-7, Arye, YBA Passion, Edge G3...

Good Luck and enjoy the hunt, John

I also have the special 25 and really enjoy them. They do not need lots of power, but they continue to seem to sound better and better with better quality amp and source. I really like my belles seperates but would really like to try the Mac 2275 integrated. I have also looked at the McIntosh 275 or belles 150. I have heard the Ayre and was very impresed with its detail, air, and musicality. The special 25 can be a little fast on the upper end but with carefull matching is not bright at all. I have not heard it with the Sim but I have heard many good reports.
