Dynaudio Focus 110 with Marantz PM-KI Pearl

[admin_exported]

Would Marantz PM-KI Pearl be a good match for the Dyns? It doesn't seem like a famous pairing so wanted to hear some opinions from fellow forumers here.

And how about partnering the Dyns with the Cyrus 8vs2 or Cyrus 8xp? I'm not sure if low powered Cyrus can drive the speakers well.

I've been reading the threads and it seems like the Primare i30 is the best amp to go with the Dyns but just wanted to see what other options I have. Thanks!

If you look at the Cyrus, I'd recommend the 8XP over the 8 as far as driving 4ohm speakers is concerned. But I'd look more towards a cyrus pre/power with the 8 Power or preferably the X Power.

Dynaudio's are on the warmer side, so avoid similar sounding amplification.

see if you can find out how much current (amps) the marantz (and cyrus) can put out. i found this to be the most important thing. i would also avoid an amp that veers towards warmth, tonally. can't really offer any advice other then that as i have no personal experience of marantz/cyrus amps with dynaudio. the i30 did sound good though. a 2nd hand avi lsi amp is supposed to be an excellent match as well.
