amp for Dynaudio Contour 1.1

My friend owns a pair of dynaudio contour 1.1, but can't decide which amp or CD player to go with. Tried the parasound, but too bright...

I was thinking that the I5 listed for about $4500 and had more like 150 w/ch, so either I'm thinking of a different model, or I'm just completely off base. Either way, the VAC mentioned about is only about 60 w/ch too, and, again, I agree you want more for the 1.1's.

I had excellent results w. the Plinius 8150i using the analysis plus copper speaker cables. I used this set-up for about a year and for me it was very satisfying! I also had great results surprisingly with nad's cheapest integrated amp called the C320. The 40 watter seem to control this speaker well enough. A word of caution, this speaker does not like tubes at all, so don't bother using it with tubes. At one point, I had also a hybrid drive it based on an Audio Note Pre-amp and a Krell 150 as power amp. DOesn't sound so good, its very rubbery! Hope this helps.
