Integrated amplifier for Dynaudio Heritage Special


UPS ‘lost’ my Luxman 550axII that was repaired and being sent back to me. As I wait on a settlement check can I get a couple integrated amplifier suggestions to run these speakers? Love the Lux but open to other options. Thanks everyone. Budget 3-5K.

Is there some special synergy with these speakers you're on the lookout for? In other words, is there something tricky about this question or are you just looking for some names?

Octave pairs well with Dynaudio if tubes are considered. TMR has a V70Se with the black box included for 3.6k. Seems like a descent deal. 

A dealer (not for Gryphon) told me that the Diablo 300 and Dynaudio is a ”match made in heaven”.

The first and most important question is what sound characteristics are you looking for out of the amp.  Second, at 85dB and a stated impedance of 4 Ohms (which means they probably dip quite a bit below that likely in the upper bass/lower mids) you’re speakers are gonna need at least 100Wpc unless you listen at low volume and/or have a small room.  Putting this info together would go a long way to whittling down viable choices. 

I am told that the Hegel amps pair well with those speakers, I had a kink studios EX-M1. 250 wpc amp very nice lively musical amp, I had it pairs with. set of Special 40's, that was a nice pairing.
