I had a momentary memory loss, for some reason told the wife the amp was £1700, as opposed to the £2400 I paid. Don't know what happened there....Originally Posted by ovlov854

So, no matter how hard I have tried, I have just not been able to get on with the Dynaudio's. Tried a number of amps thanks to some very helpful forum members, but to no avail.
Heading back to the BBC sound with tail between my legs, have listened to the current Spendor line-up and thought they were my cup of tea, if still a little forward in the treble. Heading this evening for a demo of Spendor S8e on the end of a Croft/Icon valve set up, hoping that will be to my liking...
If the Spendor's do the trick will be on the look out for valve amp/s methinks.
Thanks all for chipping in, as a newbie I've gone around the houses a little, discovering I prefer a more laid back natural sound, fortunately I haven't lost too much dosh along the way.

It may not be of interest now, but I have a Karan KA i180 integrated which I plan to sell soon. The sound is very neutral and erring on the warm side. Not shrill or forward.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

As the saying goes, 'like waiting for a bus....'. Thanks for the heads up Stephen, would still like to try on I must say. Hoping to collect Spendor's tomorrow, will then tackle amps but have to say they sounded great with croft valves
