selection of amp to drive DYNAUDIO C1

hi guys,was wondering which amp should perform the best for my set up,i'm open for your suggestion but will spend max for $3k,thank u all!
here what my mind:
BRYSTON 4B SST
PARASOUND A 21
PLINIUS 102 OR simple INT 9200
PASS LABS X250
i like all kind music especially with vocal,the amp later will match with dac/pre either bel canto DAC3 or benchmark DAC
cheers

X250.5 was the best amp, period, that I tried on C1s.

For integrateds, BAT beat them all.

Honeyooi, if your source is neutral sounding then go with the Plinius 102, you will love them. If your source and preamp is already too warm then Pass would be a much better choice.

Pani,my source is Pioneer BDP-23fd,thats why im consider to match with some DAC later.

I've heard the Plinius 102 with Harbeths - what a sweet combination - I think it's a very sweet amplifier.
