Simaudio I-7 or Pass INT-150

i think the BAT really works well with my C1s...and its cheaper than either option

I demoed both and found the Pass to have better resolution and transparency while being more musical. The Plinius was good, but the sound seemed closed-in compared to the Pass.

Oops, I meant to say Simaudio, not Plinius. But it holds true for the Plinius as well.

It's all in the matching as I said. The Plinius is actually more musical but because the Dynaudio's are already warm and smooth the Pass would be a better match. Other great matches would be the Primare. A good affordable match would be the Musical Fidelity 5.5 but only because the Dynaudios are smooth and they love power.

Both are generally well received amplifiers, but there are so many other choices to consider. Jeff Rowland, AMR, GamuT, Conrad Johnson etc. If you are interested i have listened and written about some of these products as i was looking to replace my own integrated.
