In Reply to: amp would not cause lack of bass... posted by docw on November 21, 2007 at 17:24:23:
Your comment that you use efficient speakers is extremely relevant.
I'm driving 85 dB sensitive Dyn Contour 1.3 SEs with a 22.5 dBW (180 w/ch) amp. You're driving a 92 dB sensitive speaker with the Kandy which is roughly a 20.5 dBW amp.
Comparing the combinations, I'm losing roughly 7 dB of sensitivity and gaining 2 dB in power. I needed that extra 3 dB in power with my amp upgrade to really start to get what my Dyns can do in the bass department. My previous amp, roughly the same power as your Kandy or a little less, gave good to very good results but definitely ran a little short in the bottom end with my Dyns.
A lot will depend on music choice, room size and just what kind of current output the Kandy can deliver because Dyns will happily soak it up. I think the Audience 70s won't be quite as demanding as my Contour 1.3 SEs but it's hard to say whether the Kandy would be the best match for the Dyns. I suspect it will give good to very good results, but I think there's a chance it will fall short of great results simply because of the nature of Dyns.
