unico 80wpc enough for dynaudio contour 1.3 mkII?

I am sorry, but Dynaudio 1.3mkII wont sound so good if fed with weak amplification. I have one speaker (to recommend) that will blow your socks off. Living Voice Avatars, used for less than 2K, and as hard core Dynaudio fan and longtime owner of the various Dynaudio speakers, i found british made Living Voice questioning my loyalty. If i were ever to "downsize" from My Plinius, that i cannot use Dyna 3.0 anymore, Living Voice would be my first and only choice! If cheaper Avatars, sound as good (in same areas even better) than my 3.0, i would hate to be tempted to audition LV's most expensive line!

From what I've heard about the 1.3s (since I own the M20s, so comparison of the two happens frequently) they need just as much juice as mine. 80 watts will only do it if you have a small listening space and that, still, may not be enough. They, like the M20s, require some serious (quality) amplification. I have just, barely, have enough power, and that's because of the size of my living room: small. peace, warren

Dynaudio's typically work best with a LOT of power. Not being familiar with the Unico but having others state that it seems to be a bit shy of its' power rating tells me that this might not be a good combo. Without trying it, you might not ever know for certain, but my guess is that your initial instincts are probably correct. Sean

I am hoping that the Unico can deliver the goods into Proac resp. 1.5's. They are more efficient than the 1sc's (which I've owned previously) The 1.5's worked magic with 40watt tube so I think the unison would be good as well. As for the Dynaudio, I agree that they are wayy to power greedy, but I've heard them play nicely on a Sim Moon 70watt intergrated so there is a possibility
