What dynaudios and amp are you using?........might be just what I'm looking for!

This was my first port of call with a Chord Clearway just bought to go between pre and poweramp to replace a 20 year old bog standard phono cable. It might have helped a bit, but the fundamental issue still remains and I think must be down to the amp/speakers/room combo. It's a bit like the...

So..... Exposure + Dynaudio The jury is still out. It sounds great for easy listening, big detailed and mellow. I can listen to it for hours, but at points I can't help feeling I'm missing some excitement. It sometimes feels like rock guitar should have brighter edges and some vocals could do...

Whatever happens I've resolved to give the combo a good go, and will be setting about taming my living room bass wise (as far as the room dimensions allow) with some corner bass traps and a bigger sofa. If I can tidy the bass up a bit that should give the top end the best chance of being just...

Will do Jezzer, I've been at the mercy of what comes up for sale. I was narrowly outbid on a Supernait 2 yesterday an Ebay, so went for this Exposure as kind of a fall back option. Both appear on the balance of opinion/reviews to be very good amps: Naim: Pros.....often mentioned as a good tonal...

Thanks PerF, Yes I've definitely been having fun trying to position my Dynaudios firing across a reasonably narrow 3.15m room! They without doubt sound better and better as I pull them away from the back wall, but at the same time become more and more like nearfield monitoring and less like...

:):):), I know, but I think that's true of an awful lot of 'minimalist' HiFi gear! My Moth passive pre amp actually has 90% fresh air and could easily be only a couple of inches deep truth be known......only it would keep falling over. I often get to thinking maybe I could just get the bits and...

Many Thanks for all the input, I've Just bought a 3010s2d pre and 3010s2 stereo power amp from Ebay. Fingers crossed they will do the job! Simon

Aside from pure power, is there anything to be gained in soundstage and imaging from having separate transformers etc for each channel? or is this all HiFi voodoo!?

Thanks Kennie, I love the sound of my system, but can tell that my 30w Moth amp is not really doing the Dynaudios justice. Looking for a fit and forget amplifier solution for a bit more juice!

I'm looking at exposure power amps as an option to go with my passive Moth pre-amp into Dynaudio Evoke 20's. Is there actually a difference between a 3010S2 stereo and 2x 3010S2 mono blocks at roughly twice the price? I don't listen at particularly high volume. Many Thanks, Simon

Are you after just the one speaker? If so it might be worth checking out the JBL wi-fi stuff. I've got one of their portable charge 4 wi-fi speakers and I love the sound of it. Obviously it's not remotely HI-FI, but the sound on pop and rock is entertaining enough considering it's size. It's...

Thanks everybody for your prompt suggestions:) Borrowing some amps is a good call as a starting point as I've not much idea how my Moth combo sounds compared to other better known modern amps. Lots more research for me to do on all the amps suggested so far, although I'm of a mind to stick with...

Does anybody have any suggestions for an amp to go with my recently acquired Dynaudio Evoke 20's? I'm currently using a 25 year old Moth Passive pre/power 30 combo, streaming from Tidal on laptop through an IRDAC. I love the engaging sound of the Dynaudios, but need a fair bit more juice from an...
