Coincident Dynamo vs. Decware SE34I.4

Friends,
I recently started a thread about "The Greatest Bargain in SET Amps These Days." I am looking for a single ended amplifier to use with my Reference 3A De Capo speakers.
I think I have it pretty much narrowed down to either the Coincident Dynamo 34SE or the Decware SE34I.4. Different amps, different topologies, but very, very similar in price and specifications. I am eager to hear your thoughts about this choice. My speakers, by the way, are rated at 92 dB of efficiency. My room is fairly small, about 11' x 16' with an 8 foot ceiling.
Thanks in advance for your help!

We have similar systems. I'm using Decware's Mini Torii with the De Capos and love the sound, different amps but sold on Decware.

Would probably boil down to features, size, aesthetics, etc. for me. Both are likely excellent. Maybe if I could a/b in my system I could choose the sound, but probably does not really matter as long as everything is set up (no pun intended) well.

Roxy54,
Understandable question. The reason I started a fresh thread is because there has been so much "topic drift" on that original thread that I didn't let my question to get lost in the shuffle. (People are currently talking about their retirement plans and their favorite classical musicÂ…" ;-)

Rebbi,
I understand now. That happens a lot in the forums, especially on threads that have been around for a long time.
Good luck with your choice. Being familiar with Coincident's great speakes, and believing that Israel Blume is pretty briliant, I would personally probably go with the Dynamo.
Good Luck!
