Integrated Amp for Dynaudio Special 40
I like my Belles Aria quite a bit. Its only 75watts but I think its a stout 75 watts. It has a silly damping factor too; can’t remember exactly but I do remember seeing it in the owner's manual and being pretty surprised at how high it was. The Volume control, ie modulation, is great. I’d describe the Aria’s sound as very open and with great bass definition, weight and control. It sounds tube like to me at times. Anyhow, I hope that helps! Goodluck! |
Sim + Dynaudio. The synergy is real. I would make a suggestion though and skip the i3.3 if you are willing to buy used and go with an older i5 or i5.3. Or jump up to the i600. Maybe it’s the number sequencing, but I’ve always thought that the I3.3 was an evolution of the i3 while the i5 evolved into the 600 and 700. The i5 is more refined, has better soundstage, and a bit more high end sounding. I could be wrong though, I only auditioned the i3.3 but I’ve owned both the i3 and i5 and the 3.3 reminded me a lot of my old 3. And don’t worry, even with 110 watts the i5 will have no issue driving the special 40’s. |
