Dynaudio Heritage + Gold Note IS-1000 Deluxe


How do you think about this pairing? Would Gold Note be able to feed Dynaudio's hungry machines? 

If not, do you have any better suggestions for a similar 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. 

From the specs, the Gold Note should work well. I ran a Pass Labs INT25 w my HS’s and it sounded great. Then I moved up to a PL X250.8 and it really opened things up. The speakers like good power. A Pass INT 60 that’s been certified may be a fantastic solution. 

What’s your budget you didnot mention ? The Luxman new 570z 210 wpc into 4 ohms very nice sound ,my friend bought one $9k  retail , and at perrotta consultants got a sweet deal sounds great , thePass labs 250  has more raw power   For $12,500   Both are excellent  your speakers in a average size room 

would work very well with the Luxman such has many new designs in the new570Z 

and plenty of good reviews ,
