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

I have Dynaudio C-2 with dual 15 inch Rythmik subs and would like advice on matching with a Mcintosh 402 amp. Does Mcintosh with dynaudio C-2 have synergy or is Simaudio 1-7 or w-5 the way to go. I see Simaudio match withdynaudio on previous post. Thanks in advance.

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

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.
