best ? ss integrated for Dynaudio Contour 1.3SE

used plinius 8200, or classe cap-151.

I am using 1.3SEs with a SimAudio I-5 with great success for the past year.

It does not appear that my I-5 is underpowering the 1.3SEs. This may be for two reasons - I'm listening in a medium-sized (not small) room and the I-5 is relatively high-current.

If you want to stay closer to the 1000 price point, consider the I-3.

Second on the Plinius. I use a Plinius 8100 with my Klipsch for 2 channel and I love the sound. It is very smooth, warm and detailed like my Eico hf-81 tube integrated. Around $800-1000 used.

I am driving my 1.3SE with Primare A30.1 and love the sound they make.

Thanks, all. I need to continue auditioning in order to ascertain my preferences from the growing field of choices.

I greatly appreciate the feedback.
