Denon or Rotel?

[iorsal]

Hi, I've KEF 11R Metas and I am looking for a new amp, would you pick Rotel Michi X5 or Denon PMA-A110 in terms of how it sounds? I am not seeking for neutrality, dynamic sound is my choice, (I also have a streamer DAC)

May be you can have different models in mind?

Thanks

No one can answer that question for you, as everybody's ears and preferences are different.
Got to a dealer and try out a few amps with your speakers to see what suits your ears. (Which will be completely different to somebody else's)

Hi Bill, thanks for your answer, I am just wondering other persons's opinions about these 2 amps, in here I have no chance to try them

Personally, I must have both of those qualities.

Not always practical, but the very best thing you could do would be to have 2 or 3 Amps on home loan, playing through your speakers in your room.
That's what I did - and the differences in presentation were more than some people would believe (the sort of people that say "all well designed amps sound the same").

Not much good asking for recommendations - not only do people hear differently, but their perception, descriptions and taste will differ from yours.

Hi, you have very good speakers (congratulation!). I will vote for Rotel Michi X5, series 2 over Denon. Rotel is more universal, less romantic amp, has more gripp. Also Rega Aethos will be very good match or Audia Flight FLS9. My friend used Kef R7 with Audia Flight FLS3 amp. This was also very good sounding combo - in a big room (somethink like 25m²). No need for subwoofer. BR.
