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!

Fredorama,

Were the Odyssey's new? I have read they take "FOREVER" to break in fully, as much as 250 hours of use and several months, not just being turned on for a few weeks... YMMV

Believe it or not my little Qinpu A-1.0X sounds extremely good driving my Dynaudio Contour S3.4 speakers. Also have a Musical Fidelity A3.5 and Onkyo A-9555 which both sound quite nice with this speaker.
The best match i've ever seen with them is the NAP200. Another interesting option could be the SuperNait...
Have you considered a big used ARC tube amp? I have heard these sound really good with Dynaudio Contour's. Their solid state amps sound pretty good too.
