Dynaudio Heritage + Gold Note IS-1000 Deluxe

Do you have any other suggestions for a similar price range of Gold Note -IS1000 Deluxe @mofojo ? 

 

Often see Simaudio products paired with Dynaudio at shows with great results. But usually the higher end models like the 600 and 700 series. Talk to Dynaudio?

Anthem STR Integrated would be in that price

I’ve used the Linn Classik, Supernait 2, Supernait 2 w/ Sim Audio W3 as the amp, and a Willsenton R8.  The only one that struggled was the Linn, but even that sounded great until you start pushing peaks over 90.  The tube amp sounds great even in the low 90’s, and that’s 25 watts triode.  The W3/Naim Combo was pretty much effortless. I passed peaks over 100db before turning it down. That’s way too loud for human ears. I don’t think this speaker is as power hungry as it’s specs will lead you to believe, and it sounds great at low to moderate levels. You’ll be fine w the Goldnote. 

I’ve had Focus 140s and Contour 20s. Odyssey Audio amps worked really well. Lyngdorf integrated ran out of juice really quick on the Contours. Wish I could have heard them with a more beefy amp. 
i did hear some Contour 60s with an Octave V110 or V80 and it was really good. Sounded thick and detailed and dynamic. Good stuff.
