unico 80wpc enough for dynaudio contour 1.3 mkII?

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
