Dynaudio c-2 ...amp advice Mcintosh or simaudio

Dserota17, you are totally reading it wrong,we are not bashing Sim audio at all and no one has gone there.The question in review is "Sim with Dynaudio" and that is our comments.Sim and Dyn dont go flow well together is the point.

Itis all a matter of taste. I had a pair of Dynaudio C1 driven by Simaudio I-7 integrated and Supernove cd player. It sounded quite nice to me. However, cable matching was very critical.

Try tubes for some real fun... I was driving Special 25's with an MC402 for a bit, and then switched over to the VTL ST-150. It had all the power I needed, tight bass control, great midrange and very nice highs. It's a common audio myth that Dyn's don't like tubes...

Oh and the best part was the VTL was half the price of the Mac. (And I used to be an Mac fanboy, with 2 MC7270's, MC2255, MC352 and lastly the MC402.)

Cheers
Tony

Some of the best sound I've ever heard has been Sim on Dyns. Definitely not a combo to write off based on other people's experiences.

Highly recommended IMO - open, airy, excellent sound

This has been helpful... I now own the C1s and trying to find a powerful integrated that is synergistic on these speakers. I heard the Boulder 865 on them and was very impressed but it's beyond my budget. Any thoughts or experiences with the C1s would be appreciated.
