Sure, keep me apprised. Personally, I think the power amp is more important than the preamp, especially when one already has a world-class preamp.

Also, with the D-02, the Temptations sound great even without the preamp, but I still prefer long listening with a pre. |

I move my 1.8 Contour´s with an integrated tube amp, Unison Research P70. I would like a jump to a Mc C2300 + Mc 275 combo.
In the dinning room I have a pair of Focus 110 with Marantz 665E K.I. Signature. |

I'm now powering my Contour 1.8's with a Pass Labs X150.5 and they've never sounded better.

My Dynaudio Confidence C2's are powered by Classe 600w monoblocks with a Simaudio Moon Evolution 740P line stage. Sources are Mac mini running Pure Music with AIFF or HD files through FireWire to a WeissDac 202 or Rega RP6 table, Dynavector 20x2 cartridge and Moon 310LP / 320S phono amp. I've had the system a year, and it sounds fabulous. Very satisfied...

I've changed the amps in both my 2 channel and HT systems over the last year. Replaced the Pass Labs Int 150 with a Bryston 4B SST2 last year. The C1s never sounded as good. Liked the Bryston so much that I got the matching 3 channel version - the 6B SST2) to power the Contour 5.4s and SCX in my HT system (with a 2B SST to power the surrounds). The Brystons match up wonderfully with the Dyns.

I'm now driving my little Focus 140's with a Bryston 3B SST2, controlled by a McIntosh D100 digital pre, fed by my DIY music server and Synology 412+.
I'm getting happier.
