Amp for Dynaudio Focus 110

Naim, Cyrus, Leema... Dyns usually benefit from amps with a lively presentation. Really depends on room acoustics but I'd avoid 'Class A' and valve amps. Think they'll give a overly smooth sound.

Cambridge Audio 840A V2 or 851A

Naim 5i with I think 50wx2 would be enough?

And Cyrus 6xp with 40w per channle?

Or better the 8xp with 70w....this one is 1.400 €

And what about Audiolab 8000? Or a consonace a120 ?

I saw a 840 A but not V2 I think, about 800€.

It's a good chance the 840a or better the V2?

Depends how loud you like your music, I suppose. If you want wall-shaking levels then definitely no. If you play at low to medium levels then it'll be enough.

Better go with the V2; there are two dealers on Audio Markt that sell their demo units.

Thanks for those links.

I have the option for a Primare i 30.

What do you think about it ? It's good for the Dynaudio's ?

I owned the Focus 110 with the Vincent SV-236.  A really fantastic combination with an incredibly deep, powerful and controlled bas.

I also had a Cyrus 8XPDQX with my Focus 110. The Cyrus (and Naim) are not really capable of showing what the Focus 110 can do.

The i30 is too laid back and not very detailed for the Dyns; they need a lively, sparkly, perky etc amplifier to weak them up, otherwise they'll sound dull.

For your budget I think the Cambridge 840A V2 is the best option to move your Dyns.

I think your suggestions are OK.

I drove Focuses 110 with my Pathos Classic One mkIII. no problems whatsoever.

Another good match would be the Roksan Caspian M2.

If you like the sound of the Focus 110 then why not try the active version of this speaker the Dynaudio Focus 110A which already has an amplifier built into them? The active version also sounds better than the standard speaker in my opinion too.

The amplifiers that are built into the active 110A version are the best possible because they've been specially designed and optimised to work with the Focus 110 drivers.

About Roksan Caspian M2, it's too expensive if I can not find it used.

And about 110A the active ones, I bought them one week ago, so I have no chance for the actives.

Now they are working with a Peachtree Inova and It sounds reallly good. 

But I need another amp for another room.

While I can't comment on the Focus 110,  I have heard the Dynaudio Dm 2/6s(which the dealer said have the same sound signature) paired with a Cayin a-55t(40watts/channel) and a Cayin cd player. I really loved the results, it was smooth when needed but had the bite when the music required it. The only problem was that even with a tube amp as powerful as the Cayin, it wouldn't go extremely loud in a large living room so that is something to consider. I honestly felt that the Cayin sounded better with the Dynaudio than an audio research amp costing 3 times the price! The main point is, I wouldn't entirely rule out tube amps because not all tube amps sound very tubey and there are certainly a lot of good tube amps out there for 1000 euros
