Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4?


Amp Budget $2400. Peachtree Nova Preamp/DAC, Ocos II speaker cables, and a short list of amps as follows; Odyssey Stratos Mono Extremes, Spectron Musician III MkII Se, Plinius P8 (modified), Mark Levinson 331.

I loved the sound of the Plinius 9200 paired with the Dyns, but I was not using the preamp section so I sold it. Might be regretting this... But now I am seeing if I can do the same or better for under $2400.

Who has some experience with any of these combinations that could opine here about their preferences and why. I listen to a lot of soft rock and blues mostly (Steely Dan, John Mayer, Buddy Guy, SRV, etc) as well as female vocalists (from Patricia Barber to Joss Stone and Sarah Vaughan). Well recorded jazz is cool, but classical is not my thing.

Thanks!

Thanks Nolitan and Buff. I don't know why I am hesitant to buy this guy's modded Plinius P8 on here, given that I know how good my 9200 sounded. And I don't really want TWO amps (Stratos Monoblocks) when I could have one. But I am hearing such great things about the Stratos monos that I just don't know..... I will see how others weigh in.
So Buff looking at your system I see you are using both a Plinius and a set of the Class D Bel Cantos. Which is better? I have heard mixed reports about the sound of Dynaudio with Class D amps.
I suggest a Pass Labs X150.5..300 watts into that 4 ohm load and Pass is by far the best SS match with Dynaudio,IMO
