Dynaudio Heritage + Gold Note IS-1000 Deluxe

Gato AMP 150 AE and Hegel h590 are in my consideration now, after a long research 

I have the Dynaudio HS speakers. My pov is they need 200 watts to really open up. I just don’t think it makes sense to drive them with a lower powered amp, even a high current class A doesn’t cut it. 

I’ve taken the HS out of circulation until I get a high powered solid state amp. 

@bluethinker 200 watts sounds an awful lot. They are too good to be out of circulation

@bluethinker do you think Gato 150 AE can handle them? 

@ahtapott - they will handle them, but they won’t make them really sing to their potential. I think it’s a speaker that really demands a lot of power. If you read and listen to all the reviews, the same thing is mentioned by most of them. 
 

I would try to power them with 200 watts. I think they were designed to be driven with more power. You won’t realize their true base potential otherwise. 
 

Great speaker, but they require watts and current.
