This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in.

I have owned a Solid State amplifier with Dynaudio speakers combo for over 15 years. I think a large stereo (350watts into 4ohms) from McIntosh Labs, Jeff Rowland Design, Plinus , Classe Audio or if you can swing some nicely powered mono blocks (500 watts into 4ohms). I like separate components. These speakers require high power to open up and blow you away! Give them the right Amp and upstream sources you will be able to experience these speakers as intended. (great stands are a must as well)

I am buying Dynaudio C-1 Platinums and would like an ideal amp.

Hi Mike, the C1's tested at are 85dB, so you need at least a 100wpch amp or higher depends how loud you want to go.
But a worry is that they need a bit of current as well, at around 80hz to 110hz, and that's the power (current) region, because they are not only 4ohms but also have a dip of  -40degrees - phase angle as well in this region. This could have an EPDR of around 2ohms as seen by the amp.

Myself I'd go for the Pass because I have a thing with Class-D for now, but both should work fine with the C1's, I'd try to audition both in your own system, to see what you prefer. I'd say the Pass will have the sweeter more believable upper mids/highs, but the Dev "could" have the better bass.

Trust me, you would have received a response from Georgehifi regardless of whether or not the post is especially for him. :)

Just injecting a little humor :) No doubt about it that @georgehifi  is a rather knowledgeable go-to person on the forum.  

This should pair well with C1 and is Danish too.

Power, current and can go low to 2ohm. 

Surprisingly a Schiit Vidar or two was not suggested.... slipping...
