Hello!I need advice wich amp for Dynaudio x 32! Budget is between 1000 - 2000 Eur, room 4,5 x 4,5m and music mostly rock and jazz. Also, what is your expirience with x32...Thanks!
Hi. A lot of the cyrus owners like the dynaudio x32's. I had a listen didnt like them to much, very ugly speakers. As for an amp, i would look for 2 Cyrus x-powers (in mono) or 2 monos ( if the price is right).
I use them with a Cambridge Audio 840A v2. Find that combo very good (jazz, classical, lounge, etc), well behaved, good bass, perfect midrange and treble, more than enough power for the room you have. And they look OK (I have maple) on top of being compact for floorstanders (thin and not too high).
I auditioned them with cyrus cd6 se, cyrus 8vs2 and chord chorus and oddy cabling about a month ago. I was impressed with the clarity and detail and the build quality but found them a bit bright sounding for my taste.
OK, I didnt listen them with Cyrus but lots of people gave me advice to try that combination. What I have tried is Simaudio Moon i-1 and Dynaudio Focus 220, and it was very good. So what about that combination with x32 for better not tiny sound and maybe Roksan Caspian M Series-1 or Naim XS. Also I found on net that Cyrus is comming with new integrated amp Cyrus XPd.Main problem is that here in Croatia local dealer for Cyrus and Roksan doesn't have stuff in shop, so I have to order and pay full price before I found is it what Iam looking for!!!
It was the 9200 partnered with a Plinius CDP (101). This system made such a great impression on me. It was definitely one of the best set-ups I heard that day.
My friend has the previous Krell integrated (400?) with Dynaudio Audience 52 SEs and sounds great indeed, the soundstage was unbelievable. He's paired it with a CA 840C strangely enough. And the sound was smooth as well.
If a recent UK review is anything to go by you owe it to yourself to hear the new Krell S-300i - this particular reviewer loved every watt in it.
