Tried Dynaudio Sapphires with Moon 330A + 330p - very disappointing

ok. some of you will kill me for this but I am trying out replacing my old NAD C720 ($200) with some better amp for my Dynaudio sapphires. I just tried out Moon 330A+330P (~C$8000) and went what??? There was certainly a difference but certainly not worth $8000? Utterly disappointed, I am now thinking of going for a decent integrated stereo amp (e.g., NAD 375BEE)?

Am I missing anything here?

OP-

I really do not know the brand of electronics that are synergistic w/ Dynaudio.  Keep digging around these forums and you will find some direction to get started.  Happy Listening!

I have a Simaudio 600i ( Evolution series ) integrated driving my Dynaudio C1 speakers and it sounds great!  What source are you using?  It's been said before, you don't drive $16,000.00 speakers with lower quality components.
