Is 15W enough to drive Dyn 3.3?


I have been wanting to try a pair of single end triod (SET)tube mono blocks (mostly like from Cary Audio) to run my dyn audio contour 3.3. My guts tells me that a 15W SET amp may not be enough. Has anyone try this or similiar setup?

Follow your instincts. :)

I do not doubt they will sound pretty good, I just think you will not be able to get the most out of them with that little power.

Good luck.
JT-Thanks for the comment. Does anyone know what's the minimum Db (for speakers) that performs well with a 15W SET tube amp?
Email the folks at Dynaudio. They are very serious about their advice and they know their speakers well. Dale
I recall the documentation that came with the Dynaudio Contour 3.3's, suggesting a minimum of 100 wpc.
If your room is large, you need at least 95dB sensitivity to approach the dynamics of live music with only 15 watts. In a smaller room the sensitivity matters less because of the room reinforcement.
Dynaudios have around 87dB sensitivity, and the 3.3s have several drivers, an additionally taxing load for an amp.
